Noe Blanco Originally from Barcelona, Noe is a graphic designer who holds a BA in Graphic Design from BAU, School of Design and a MA in Advanced Typography at Eina, Escola de Disseny i Art, where her interest in type design began and where she created her first typeface. Since 2008, she has been working as a graphic designer for different studios in Barcelona. She is a graduate of the Type Media program at KABK, Den Haag, class of 2012. Since then she has been working for Underware and independent foundries such as Emtype Foundry, and Klim Type Foundry, among others. In 2018, she joined the faculty in the Masters program in typographic design at Elisava. Her graduation typeface at KABK was Minima (2012), a text typeface families woth sans and serif components. The sans is roundish and flared, and both read very well at small point sizes. In 2013, together with Jordi Embodas, she designed the commercial rounded grotesk typeface Bulo Rounded (2013, Tipografies). Codesigner with Jordi Embodas of Trola Text (2014). Co-designer of Epicene Text & Display (2021, by Dave Foster and Noe Blanco). Award winner at 25 TDC in 2022. These are baroque typeface families inspired by the work of 18th century masters J-F. Rosart and J.M. Fleischmann. AIGA describes the result as a baroque typeface celebrating ornamental idiosyncracy. Co-designer of Manuka (2019-2021, by Dave Foster and Noe Blanco). Award winner at 25 TDC in 2022. Compressed typefaces for large sizes. Described by Klim Type: With deviant details pilfered from Teutonic timber type, Manuka grafts a contemporary antipodean aesthetic onto 19th century German root-stock. Tight spacing, closed apertures and sharp joins make a compelling texture, like sunlight sparkling through a forest canopy. Her talk at ATypI 2014 in Barcelona was entitled Fonts out of ink.
