Lu Nolasco, known professionally by the pseudonym Lunol, has established herself as a leading figure among the emerging generation of South American lyricists. A native of Lima, Peru, her career is grounded in a solid foundation of training under the guidance of renowned regional masters, complemented by rigorous self-taught research on the use of the flexible nib (expansion). She is currently engaged in prolific educational work as an instructor specializing in lettering.

The Miraflores district, one of Lima’s most iconic tourist and residential areas, characterized by its unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, serves as the artist’s primary creative catalyst. This urban environment provided the conceptual foundation for *Miraflores* (a semantic play on words alluding to the act of “looking at flowers”), her debut typeface developed in collaboration with Alejandro Paul.

From a morphological perspective, the project is defined as a cursive (script) typeface with an informal style and a comprehensive structure. The typeface incorporates a vast repertoire of alternative glyphs, decorative strokes (swashes), ligatures, small caps, and an extensive collection of ornamental elements. The system offers broad coverage for languages using the Latin alphabet and is ideally suited for use in stationery, menu design, and packaging, as well as in any graphic context where the communicative goal is to convey playfulness, lightheartedness, and aesthetic sensibility.
