John Vargas Beltrán, a graphic designer from Colombia, designed and published the Salsa font. He graduated from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in 1997 and has over 10 years of experience in calligraphy, typeface design, and lettering. He is a pioneer of digital type design in Colombia. The font is a display-type font with a robust appearance and thick strokes and was inspired by old LP album covers from the 1970s. It was created as a final project for a postgraduate program in typography at the University of Buenos Aires and its name comes from the popular Latin American music genre, Salsa.
The Salsa font was made by taking the vertical structure of an italic and basing it on the behavior and nature of a flat round brush stroke. It was done so that it wouldn’t look like a typical grunge, vocabulary, or decorating style.
It comes with multi-language support, including English, Dutch, Finnish, etc. The font characters include alphabets, numbers, and symbols. It comes with 362 glyphs and more than 85 international languages supported. Both OTF and TTF formats are available for download. Available for personal use.
