Designed by Daniel Hernández and César Araya, Hernández Niu is a slab serif font family. This typeface has twelve styles and was published by Latinotype.

In the typedesign industry the terms ‘nova’, ‘neue’, ‘next’, ‘new’ are often used to refer to a typeface that has been modified in different ways: redesign, technical readjustments, greater number of characters, etc.
At Latinotype we are now starting to use the word ‘niu’ to refer to these kinds of typefaces.
Niu is an adaptation of the original word ‘new’, i.e., we have adapted this English word to the phonology and spelling of our own language but keeping the original meaning.
Race mixing, diversity, change and adaptation are part of the essence of Latin American culture and, at Latinotype, we are all constantly expressing these elements in everything we do.
Latin Power!
