Collage of images of handpainted lettering taken in Buenos Aires by Emily Davidow

On every street in Buenos Aires, I fell in love with the handpainted signs and lettering. Delighted to discover these fonts below by Alejandro Paul that capture the Argentinian style and energy. Paul is one of the founders of Sudtipos project, the first Argentinian type foundry collective, whose site is filled with fonty goodness.

Regarding the adorable pinguinos, I didn’t see any in Argentina, but here are some pictures of the pinguinos of Patagonia (Chile) and the Galapagos (Ecuador).
