PEDROGLIFOS OPENS ITS DOORS
Over the past five years, Pedroglifos has built a type library and developed the technical infrastructure necessary to operate a digital type foundry. The time has finally come to open the doors to type designers from the Caribbean through the project: plurario
The purpose of this project is to position Caribbean-Antillean type design on the international design map and to strengthen the font market in the region.
We’re looking for individuals who want to contribute their fonts to the Plurario catalog and be part of the Pedroglifos type foundry. If your fonts meet the requirements below, submit one application per typeface.
Meet the Requirements
Minimum Character Set
To achieve global reach, fonts must support a good variety of languages. The more languages, the better—but we follow the minimum standard required by Monotype, which you can find here.
You may submit your typeface even if it doesn't yet include the minimum character set. If selected, the minimum set will be required for publication.
