History

2008

Founded in Concepción, Latinotype began as a self-taught, authorial initiative — in a country where type design had little tradition outside academia. It would grow into one of the most influential type foundries to emerge from Latin America.

2011

Latinotype began marketing its typefaces globally, notably through the MyFonts platform, quickly becoming one of MyFonts' most successful foundries.

2013

The typeface Trend, designed by Daniel Hernández, was named one of the most popular fonts on MyFonts. It also was used in the redesign of Olympique Lyonnais' emblem.

2018

Recoleta launched — the retro serif that would become Latinotype's most recognized typeface, used by major brands around the world.

2021

Created a bespoke typeface for the visual identity of Museo Histórico Nacional de Chile, drawing inspiration from the Bandera de la Jura de la Independencia. The design was nominated for Chile Diseño 2021 in the typography category.

2022

Designed "Happy Display," a custom typeface for Zoom — extending Latinotype's practice from catalog fonts to bespoke corporate identities for global brands.

2026

Marsella, designed by Type Design Director Ale Navarro with the Latinotype team, was named a finalist at TDC72, one of the world's most recognized type design competitions.
