Barrio
Omnibus-Type · Sergio Jiménez, Pablo Cosgaya
A display typeface by Sergio Jiménez and Pablo Cosgaya built around rhythmic contrast and a deliberate amateur quality for warm, lively communication.
About
Designed by Sergio Jiménez and Pablo Cosgaya, Barrio uses rhythmic contrast and an intentionally rough, hand-made character to produce something lively and approachable. It suits billboards, promotional material and magazines where an informal, energetic tone is wanted. The family covers over 103 Latin languages including Guarani, with 490 glyphs and diacritics.
Classification
Barrio is classified as a display typeface with script-like qualities; its rhythmic contrast and deliberately amateur character place it firmly in expressive, decorative territory rather than any neutral or text category.
