NavarroIn the neighbourhood of Bajos de Mena (Puente Alto, Chile) there are lots of stores and shops with indications and printed posters using typefaces such as Arial or Helvetica. These typefaces are utilized for all different purposes, from 8 pts to gigantics sizes, due to the fact that local people would deal with what they have within reach, also in terms of typefaces. "What is Helvetica doing here?" that is the concern that led me to design Mena Grotesk, a sans serif typeface for Bajos de Mena.
Mena Grotesk is a Neo-grotesk typography made in the Chilean method. Talented with a more humanist percentage, with sharper inner curves and softer external curves, Mena Grotesk counts with the character to stand out in big sizes and enough control to not sidetrack the reader: it is a typeface to be seen and to be read. Mena Grotesk is a complete time worker typeface, a "handyman", as my people.
Mena Grotesk is composed by 20 designs, 886 glyphs and Little Caps. Besides, it has powerful OpenType functions for each design, consisting of stylistic sets, borders and patterns, extended language assistance, ligatures, contextual alternates, lining figures, oldstyle figures, arrows, circled around and black circled around numbers, fractions, superscripts, subscripts and lots of more.
