Letrastica Festival 1

The Festival opens in Guadalajara

The first edition of the Festival was launched the same day that a category 5 hurricane touched the Mexican coast. This caused panic and misinformation that nearly led to cancellation of the event. Fortunately, despite the forecasts, Letrastica was a success with attendees enjoying conferences in full capacity, workshops and presentations of some of the great names of Mexican typography and calligraphy as well as the charisma and excellence of our guests.
