Designer: Daniel HernándezIn the typedesign industry the terms 'nova', 'neue', 'next', 'brand-new' are frequently utilized to refer to a typeface that has actually been customized in different ways: redesign, technical readjustments, higher number of characters, etc.
At Latinotype we are now starting to utilize the word 'niu' to refer to these type of typefaces. Niu is an adjustment of the original word 'brand-new', i.e., we have actually adapted this English word to the phonology and spelling of our own language however keeping the initial meaning.
Race mixing, diversity, change and adaptation are part of the essence of Latin American culture and, at Latinotype, we are all constantly expressing these aspects in whatever we do. Latin Power!
This brand-new version includes improvements that make it work well with longer text. Such enhancements have not had a major result on the appearance of the font style, though. We have changed the initial percentages and included a number of brand-new characters in addition to OpenType functions such as little caps, oldstyle figures, tabular numbers and stylistic alternates.
Sánchez Niu contains a set of 720 characters that support 219 languages. The font is well-suited for long text, headings and logotypes, and it has actually been optimised for web usage.
