It all started back in 2020 when I was exploring new paths in my design career. What began as curiosity became «amor verdadero». Aren’t alphabets fascinating? Writing systems that, when put together, can build entire universes of meaning. And as a designer, I can stretch the possibilities of each letterform to convey even greater emotion and context to the reader.
Type is the one device that bridges the gap between communication, expression, and identity.
In terms of style, I often find myself creating fonts with bold and daring personalities. Each project I take on is a challenge of uniqueness. How different I can make one font from another will always be my drive. Additionally, as I've gone deeper into the craft, I strive to achieve better and higher-quality typefaces, as well as greater support for other languages and cultures. In the process, I've also developed a newfound appreciation for other writing systems. In particular, the Cyrillic alphabet has captured my heart because of its fairly recent history.
Type has opened my eyes to a more connected world, inspiring me to continue making better and more diverse fonts.

Multilanguage accesibility
All Pedroglifos’ fonts are multilingual. Some have more support than others, depending on how recent the work is. I have been studying other writing systems, with a special focus on Cyrillic because of its still-evolving nature. Fonts like Sato, Senteia, Datura, and Zorzal all have support for Slavic languages such as Ukrainian, Russian, Serbian, and Bulgarian. My goal is to continue expanding support for older fonts such as Zafrada, Matria, and Normandi. When it comes to Latin, you can trust all of my fonts to support 60% or more of the languages that use the Latin alphabet.
Flexible licensing for a better design world.
As a buyer of fonts myself, I know licenses can be difficult to understand at first glance. As the type industry moves toward simpler and friendlier licensing, at Pedroglifos, we have created flexible licenses that allow for multiple devices for a single sale. The only restrictions are the mandatory ones: None of my fonts can be redistributed commercially, nor can the source files be altered in any way.
Our Licence at a Glance
Made with brands in the heart, and mind.
Brands need typefaces that reflect their ethos and help provide context for their audiences. Sometimes, it's for their own mark; other times, it's for communication and content pieces. Whichever the case, Pedroglifos fonts are made to be as different from one another as possible, a skill I have developed after 15+ years designing logos and brand strategies. If you have a logo in mind and wish to create a custom typeface for it, contact my branding studio.
