Currently working as a Font Developer at Dalton Maag (since 2019) where I lead projects, draw letters in different scripts and make them work. [+INFO]

In my free time I hunt letters around the city in @lettersoflondon_ and write in spanish about tech, the internet, visual communication and fonts in Breaking Fonts.
