The process originated in 2016 —after finishing the Diploma in Typography at Universidad Católica—, and after living in Mexico City. In 2017, within "Taller de Investigación" (english: Research Workshop) —from now on, TdI— dictated by Agustín Villena, I developed a Research focused on the Signage and Wayfinding of Metro de Santiago in two periods (1972-1997) and (1997-2017), within which, I managed to identify several problems and opportunities to develop a conclusion, one of them, to design a proposal to unify the written information of Metro de Santiago. Which, I designed "metroCL", a typography which is exhibited in the publication shown below in the photographs.
