Laura exudes a contagious enthusiasm. She shows me some of her recent work, we talk about friends and common places, and while I set up the camera she hurries to tidy up her table, which, to me, is not cluttered at all. I read this same neatness in her way of posing and dressing, the same one that can be seen on the screen, in the image of the typography she is designing.

Laura Meseguer is a designer and teacher specialized in editorial design and custom typography design, from a monogram to a complete alphabet.
She studied at Llotja and started in the profession working in several advertising agencies and studios. Since 1992 she has been a member of the typographic collective Type-Ø-Tones, from where she distributes and promotes her typefaces. In 2003-2004 she was a student at Type & Media and obtained a Master's degree in typography design at the KABK in The Hague, The Netherlands.
She is the author of TypoMag, Tipografía en las revistas, and, together with Cristóbal Henestrosa and José Scaglione, co-author of the book Cómo crear tipografías. Del boceto a la pantalla.
Member of the board of ATypI since 2017. Gráffica Award 2018.
