Carta Nueva is the digital re-imagination of a pointed-nib calligraphy model from 1851 in Barcelona, Spain (designer unknown). 170 years after the original calligrapher’s penning and printing, the manual made its way into our hands at an antique fair in Madrid. When type designer My-Lan Thuong began designing Carta Nueva in 2019, she could not have anticipated just how far these letterforms would take her.
Under her care and imagination, we knew the spirit of the letterforms would be treated thoughtfully and take on a new life of their own for the 21st century. Much like its designer, Carta is poised and lively, with an unbounded potential for growth and flourishment.
