From the foundry
Cyrus Highsmith’s Zócalo series was part of Eduardo Danilo’s 2002 redesign of the leading Mexico City newspaper, El Universal. It was inspired by Nicholas Kis’s oldstyle as well as Highsmith’s impressions of México itself. Zócalo Text derives its sturdy proportions from Chauncey Griffith’s classic newsface, Ionic No.5.
