Huracán Abatido is a personal project born from seasons of hurricanes and the research, introspection, and visual interpretation of the metaphor between natural and emotional phenomena generated during a storm system.

The texts in this publication are quotes and excerpts from literature, music, and emotions; the images and their sequence are also metaphorical.

As this is a publication that deals with intimate and introspective topics, I sought to use fonts with feminine aesthetics and lots of character that at the same time allowed for typographical games where the typography creates images and allows for a fluid reading of the compositions.


Sharp Roman Italic was used as the main font for large texts due to the beauty, sinuosity and curvature of its shapes, which emulate the movement of the winds; Droulers and HG Mincho were chosen to highlight texts since their angled ends and curved shapes complemented each other and gave a more daring character to the texts; finally Montagu Slab is used for longer body texts since it is very clear and easy to read.


Huracán Abatido, a project winner of the Rayo de Oro award in the editorial category, in the Self-initiated Project subcategory.
A single copy of the publication was printed using home printers.
