Developed especially for this project, to be engraved on metal in small scores in a series of commemorative coins and for use in promotional titles for these. Perhaps the main challenge was to make a development that could adapt to the printed medium and metal engraving while maintaining the detail and sobriety for which it was used. The fact that it was used at macro and micro scales led to an almost unilinear typography, with geometric and rough strokes, with wide white spaces and extended to gain body, since there was no impediment that it would be used in long compositions.
