Retiro / Regular 64

Retiro was designed by Jean Francois Porchez who was the founder of Typofonderie and the designer of many typefaces with a Western European distinction (Bettger). Retiro was specifically designed for the magazine Madriz as the founder of Madriz was looking for a Didot for his magazine as Didot is used in high-end magazines like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar(Retiro). Retiro got its name from a park in Madrid and is a “daring interpretation” of Spanish typography and as a result it contains various elaborate capital forms with the Spanish influence(Retiro - ZeCraft).
