Francisco Gálvez

Francisco, known as Pancho, lives in Santiago, Chile. He studied Graphic Design after the end of the dictatorship in 1990 and discovered his passion for type design in a self-taught manner while working. This interest led him to teach typography at Diego Portales University and the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, and to publish the book Educación tipográfica in 2004.

His career was solidified when he won first place in the Morisawa type design competition in Japan in 2002. Since 2014, he has been part of PampaType, and in 2018, he published Hacer y componer, which was also released in Polish in 2019. He has traveled across South America sharing his expertise in typography and type design.
