Who are you and what do you do? My name is Julia Martinez Diana. I’m a graphic designer who graduated from the University of Buenos Aires (FADU, UBA). I’m the founder and designer at my independent type design studio Antipixel, with a main focus on displaying handwritten typefaces. Some of my studio’s most popular type families are Escalope, Austral Slab & Sans, LeOsler and the Aracne collection.
Current city: Buenos Aires, Argentina
How did you make these? My work is purely digital and based on typography since I have always had special care for it, so creating art pieces with type as the protagonist was the next step for me.
I always start by looking for inspiration on different sites and then set the theme for my work. Sketching the first drafts goes along with setting a color palette and choosing the right type to complete the work’s identity. Since I have a particular interest in irregular and unique forms, I then concentrate on adding textures and layers to my compositions to give depth, making them interesting and different.
Why did you make these? In my free time, I like to have fun with type. I love working with letters and have a passion for those beautiful characters hidden in every font family. From an asterisk to an accented character, each glyph has a story to tell. For example, my Foreign Language Collection celebrates characters from other languages alphabets, such as the Polish Ł or the Norwegian Ø, which have always caught my eye. And other works of mine tell a story by integrating type with illustration.
What do people typically say about your work? People say that I have a very personal style, and they could definitely recognize my work before seeing my name in the credits!
