“Miau” is a display typeface designed by Carlos Campos (AKA “Cuchi, ¡qué Tipo”! / “Hey, what a type!”). Only to be used for letters or single words.It is built from the basic skeleton of cursive script letters, and its origin and main concept is based on experimenting with shapes that play the limit of readability. Being a variable format typeface, we have from the thinnest and lightest version (“Hiss”), to the thickest, dense and compact (“Purr”), passing through the average (“meow”).The final result of this experimentation is defined into a very contemporary typeface with a geometric, modular and “no-terrestrial” flavour. It aims to be a representation of the times we live about typographic design, a whole explosion of implausible experiments and formals researches.Its name comes from the onomatopoeia of “Meow” in Spanish, since all my fonts are named with titles of domestic animals, or related to them.
