Antonio Mejía Lechuga
Antonio is originally from Huauchinango, Puebla, and currently resides in Querétaro, Mexico. As a graphic designer, his main interest focused on corporate identity, and he traveled to Barcelona to pursue postgraduate studies in that field.
During his early professional practice, when he avoided touching a node out of respect for the letters, he gradually developed an interest in typography to apply it to identity and branding. Later, he pursued a master’s degree in Typeface Design and had the opportunity to start publishing his first commercial retail projects, which allowed him to become independent and develop custom typeface projects for clients such as La Salle University, Gatopardo Magazine, América Móvil, and others.
His work has received national and international recognition, and in recent years, he has been teaching, giving talks, and conducting typography design workshops at various universities and companies across the country. He is currently continuing to develop custom fonts and publishing retail fonts through his independent foundry, LechugaType.
