As a thoughtful response to the advancement of AI across all fields, Otta aims to resonate on a deeply human level. Its gentle, organic tone seeks a return to human sensibility—to the delicacy of craftsmanship and handmade artistry. Otta has been carefully designed with a sense of rhythm that aims to synthesize both calligraphic and typographic forms suitable for continuous reading. Like other fonts in our type library, Otta is also the result of an exploration of horizontal contrast, this time following the example of scripts that employ it as part of their tradition, such as Arabic and Greek. Otta is also an ambitious multilingual typeface family. Francisco designed it specifically to typeset his own book on typography, *Hacer y Componer*—a must-read for typography enthusiasts—in which he needed to harmoniously combine various scripts from around the world on a single page. Otta is undoubtedly Francisco Gálvez’s greatest typographic design achievement to date, and the PampaType team is proud to release it.
