Mujeres Hispans y Tipografía
Hoffmitz Milken Center for Typography, 2021–22


Mujeres Hispanas y Tipografía (Hispanic women and typography), the 2021 HMCT Typographers-in-Residence program, reflects the influences that individual cultures and histories had on the investigations of five designers, researchers and educators: Sandra García and Dafne Martínez (Colombia and Mexico), Laura Meseguer (Spain), Marina Garone Gravier (Argentina/Mexico), and Jimena Gamio (Peru/Los Angeles).

This publication, produced exclusively by women, is a documentation of their research, design, and investigations, and celebrates the talents and contributions of these hispanic women to the field of graphic design and typography.
