Firmin Didot is one of my favorite font designers. I have been using his “didot” font for more than 10 years. Last year, I decided to make my own “didot”, and I spent more than 4 months redesigning it with a new kerning, tracking and spacing.

Book
In 2007 I decided to make a guide book for japanese tourists in NY. I tried to show them the dark underground side of New York. I consider that a lot of japanese tourists have a really commercial idea about what New York is, so I decided to collect unusual spots that only the locals know and present them in this book.

Type Design
Union Pool is the latest font that I designed. My inspiration came from the mosaics that decorate the city of Barcelona´ s Gothic constructions. These constructions are made out of several small pieces that together create an illusion of one single image. I wanted to recreate the same structure for my font. This font is intended for use in titles or headings.
