The Sisters typeface features a family within a family: it started with an only child and quickly grew to four siblings. Type-O-Tones’ co-founder Laura Meseguer was initially inspired by lettering she came across in a 1949 Catholic School leaflet at the Mercat dels Encants flea market in Barcelona. Meseguer developed the character set for Sisters based on the modular aspects of the original letterforms, reinterpreting them as stencil letters. Sisters was conceived as a custom lettering project—in this case, crafted for the identity of Trans_Documentar, an exhibition at the La Panera Art Center in Lleida, Spain. “We designed Sisters as an homage to all the creative women in this world,” Meseguer says. “For our type specimen and social media, the graphics by Gerard Joan use lyrics from female musicians such as P.J. Harvey, Bjork, and Nina Simone, and quotes from female authors including Margaret Atwood and Isabel Allende.”
