I knew I was destined to become a designer when I discovered my passion for branding. As expected, typography has always been a vital tool in my design and animation process. But little did I know that one day, I'd find myself delving into the world of design as a typographer. It all started back in 2020 when I was exploring new paths in my design career. What started as curiosity, became «amor verdadero». And not just because letters are beautiful, but because together they’re codes made of lines and space. I must say, the intricacies of human language processing never cease to fascinate me! It's incredible how we’re capable of transforming these beautiful codes into thoughts and meaning through writing systems. To me, type design is all about exploring how far I can stretch the possibilities of each letterform to convey emotion and context.
In term 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 subject matter, I thrive to achieve better and higher quality typefaces. I've also developed a newfound appreciation for other writing systems. In particular, the Cyrillic alphabet has captured my heart. Unlike Latin, it's a writing system that's still evolving and being perfected to this day. I see it as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the world of type design —and the evolution of typing. Moreover, collaborating with others always brings me joy and a sense of belonging to a larger creative community.
My dream is to continue crafting language tools that help brands and people alike express themselves in their own unique way.

These are the principles that guide our typeface practice
Multilanguage, and cyrillic obsessed fonts.
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.

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.
