Criolla Sans Font

Criolla Sans Font – this typeface is inspired in the influence of the Bauhaus in Chile, particularly in Chillan; a city where a catastrophic earthquake took place in 1939.

There was the need of rebuilding Chillan and it was fulfilled in a very good way. One of the responsible architects of what today we know as Chillan is the Hungarian Tibor Weiner — a Bauhaus man. He arrived to Chile as a refugee, the same year of the earthquake. We did not know we needed him, but he came to us anyway. A coincidence?

Today, Chillan is a dichotomy of modernity and rural life; the strength of the concrete coexisting with wood, tiles, mud and clay. Criolla symbolizes this encounter, an stable instability and the flexibility of geometry.
