Hi, I'm João!
I'm a Lettering Artist and Type Designer, currently based in Lisbon, Portugal.
My world revolves around letters of all shapes and sizes, in all mediums and colours. Attracted to everything related to typography, from typefaces and logos to murals and calligraphy, I constantly challenge myself to work with different materials, scales and styles.
In 2020, I graduated with honours from the Master Type Design at École Cantonal d'Art de Lausanne. During my degree, I learned how to fuse the technical and detailed process of Type Design with an emotive and creative approach to Lettering pieces, and that is exactly what I strive to do. My creative process always involves both analogues and digital mediums, either for sketching and finalizing projects.
I’m always thrilled to join projects in which I have the opportunity to draw, paint, build and work with letters! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to collaborate, share an idea, or just to chat.
