"Cuchi, ¡qué tipo!/Hey, what a man!" is really a wordplay nickname for Carlos Campos ("tipo" in spanish means both type and guy, and "cuchi" is an andalusian colloquial expression for "hey" or "look").

Carlos Campos is a Graphic Designer and typography teacher at the EASD José Nogué de Jaén and University of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain). Co-founder with Viky Rodríguez of the event Órbitas Jaén, that it celebrates in the same city, and also promoter of "Cuchis", that are casual events dedicated to promote the typography culture. Currently, Carlos is working about the investigation and recovery of traditional lettersigns in Andalusia, with a project called "Ole, qué Tipos!", which is member of Red ibérica en defensa del patrimonio gráfico / Iberian net in defense of graphic heritage. Besides, Carlos is the official dog walker of his little cute dog Kora Ampersand ("ampersand" comes from her natural position when she falls asleep on his bed).

Órbitas Jaén© is a very great event. Just take a look at the great stars of design that have accompanied us.

And, finally, in his free time, Carlos also designs and develops typefaces. You can see them in this section of the web, or animated in Vimeo. Anything you want to ask, this is me: cuchi@cuchiquetipo.com
