Andada

Andada ht was born from the relationship between language and typography. It is an organic-slab serif, hybrid style and medium contrast type for text. Initially it was designed to be used in a specific bilingual context, Spanish and Guaraní (pre-hispanic) languages therefore the language is its design criteria.

The Guaraní language uses the latin system, it has a character named puso, which is an identifying sign for Guaraní, like the ñ in Spanish, the č in Czech or the ß in German. The correct sign to represent the puso is the saltillo (Saltillo uniA78B, saltillo uniA78C), but usually it’s replaced by an apostrophe because the saltillo does not appear in the spanish, english or portuguese keyboards layouts.

During these 10 years of work I have looked for different solutions to improve the composition of text in guaraní, from the typographical and technical points of view.

I have developed a new keyboard distribution, which allows the guaraní language users to normally type in their language. More info if you want to type saltillo oder puso: https://github.com/huertatipografica/teclado-Guarani

Andada ht es una tipografía para textos, de serif slab-orgánico, estilo híbrido y contraste medio. Está diseñada para abordar la problemática de un idioma específico, el guaraní, y su convivencia con el castellano. El pusó, signo intervocálico que utiliza este idioma, se diferencia de la comilla y tiene entidad de letra, ya que es una consonante, no es un acento ni un signo de puntuación. Para el diseño de los dígrafos –dos letras que representan un sonido– no se utiliza el recurso de las ligaduras, sino que se trabajaron como pares de letras.
