Moneda is a typeface family designed in 2008 by Oscar Yáñez for the magazine Dinero Inteligente of Grupo Editorial Expansión, with the specific purpose of optimizing the composition of secondary texts in a financial editorial environment. From its conception, Moneda responds to the requirements of clarity, hierarchy and sobriety that a publication oriented to economic analysis and informed decision making demands.
Designed to coexist with main texts and diverse graphic elements, Moneda offers a functional tone but with character, which generates contrast and dynamism without losing visual coherence within the editorial system. Its typographic architecture is based on a rationalist logic, with balanced proportions, discrete modulations and controlled strokes, favoring legibility in small bodies without renouncing a distinguishable typographic presence.
The family is composed of five variables, which gives it enough flexibility to meet different editorial needs: from highlights, captions, margin notes and graphics, to intermediate headings. Although it was not conceived for use in main headlines, its structural consistency allows it to adapt to multiple support uses within the editorial layout.
