Jos Buivenga can be passionate about a lot of things. He loves to paint, listen to music, brew an almost perfect espresso... but nothing challenges and rewards him more than designing type. If ever he was stranded on a desert island he would still draw alphabets in the sand, even if there was no one else to see them. He is the founder of exljbris, the one-man Dutch font foundry through which he releases and offers his typefaces. For 15 years, his online friends and fans could follow the development of his typefaces and download the results at no cost. In 2008, while still working as an art director at an advertising agency, he released his first commercial typeface Museo with several weights offered for free. That strategy paid off and Museo became a huge bestseller. Partly thanks to that success he now calls himself a full time type designer. All photos by Jos van Roij

Lamas Burgariotti is a multidisciplinary graphic design studio based in Buenos Aires. Our practice is linked to visual arts and cultural projects. We aim to work in close collaboration with artists, curators, publishers, filmmakers, dancers, photographers, architects, musicians, among others disciplines. Currently, we focus on the design of visual identities, exhibitions, editorial design and websites, as well as the development of installations and art work.
