Alcira
Alcira in “Rising Stars, May 2008: Andinistas is a Colombian-Venezuelan venture: the foundry’s name refers to the Andes mountains. With Alcira, founder Carlos Fabián Camargo Guerrero brings us another wild, funky script font. Based on an earlier font called Rosadelia, it explores calligraphic shapes in advanced stages of irregularity and chaos.
