Canilari by W Type Foundry is a serif with ornamental flourishes, inspired by Diaguita pottery patterns and contemporary design principles. The typeface captures the distinctive geometric marks and assured stroke work of the Diaguita people (10th to 16th centuries, indigenous to northern Chile and Argentina), translating these powerful visual traditions into a fully functional font family. Its consistent, confident personality makes it work across multiple applications, from continuous text in challenging print environments to impactful display headlines. The angular forms carry cultural weight while remaining clean enough for professional use.

The design is equally at home in body text as in bold headlines. For display work, its geometry excels in festival poster design, heritage brand identity systems, artisanal packaging for small-batch goods, and editorial headers in design publications. The family comes in two complete sets (standard and pro versions), each offering four weights and matching italics. The expansive collection of ornamental glyphs and illuminated capitals gives designers flexibility to customize and personalize their work.

The pro set delivers 710 characters with support for 219 languages, giving it genuine international reach. Canilari's selection at Bienal Tipos Latinos 2014 reflects its visual significance and technical precision. You can get this typeface on Creative Fabrica.
