Miyuscules：无衬线字体的进阶探索——实验性字体设计研究，该项目始于1992年布宜诺斯艾利斯大学字体设计课程论文研究，距今已有多年。当时我将研究成果用西班牙语整理成册，近期已完成英文版翻译。

Miyuscules字体项目诞生于阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯大学FADU学院平面设计专业三年级选修课。历经二十五载，我决定将原为西班牙语的研究成果翻译成英文，以触达更广泛的受众。该项目部分内容曾于1994年《tipoGráfica》杂志和1996年《字体思考》文集发表，但完整成果始终未公之于众。

本研究开展于90年代初的布宜诺斯艾利斯，当时尚未进入互联网信息便捷获取时代。承蒙鲁本·丰塔纳先生惠借私人藏书，并得益于《tipoGráfica》杂志发布的有限资料，才使研究成为可能。若在当今时代开展类似研究，必将获得更多参考文献并取得更深入的进展。

设计最小化字体单元本是这次"超越无衬线体探索"的核心目标，但形式实验很快引发了概念性思考：字体创新的边界何在？历史上哪些实验与此提案相关？我们如何借鉴历史经验构建新结构，为自腓尼基人创制语音符号以来沿用至今的字母建立新的形式规范？整套设计方法论体现在每个字符的塑造过程中，我们融合五种字族的结构特征，在此基础上构建出独具特色的字体风格。除界定字符本质外，这项研究还涉及黑白字体概念的拓展——引入避免字形与字腔分离的全新结构理念。（摘自《字体思考》，布宜诺斯艾利斯Edicial出版社，1996年）"

技术层面而言，Miyuscules使用Fontographer 3.5软件在Power Macintosh 6100电脑上制作完成，很可能是阿根廷首款数字字体。我已制作成True Type版本。

‘Miyuscules is a typographic project done in the context of an undergraduate level 3 elective paper of the Graphic Design degree, FADU, Buenos Aires, Argentina. After 25 years, I have decided to translate my work, originally written in Spanish, in order to share it to a broader community. A part of the original work has been published a couple of times in 1994 (tipoGráfica) and 1996 (Pensamiento Tipográfico) but the complete project has never been published. This project was performed in the context of the early 90s in Buenos Aires, without the easy access to information that the WWW would bring in later years. At the moment I had access to a handful of books that Rubén Fontana shared from his personal library, and I had access to some material that was published in tipoGráfica magazine. Nowadays, an approach to a similar question would probably have more references and a further development.

«The design of minimum typographical units was the real purpose of this ‘step beyond the sans serif’. But the formal experiment rapidly gave way to a question of concepts: what are the limits of typographical innovation, what are the historical experiments related to the proposal, and what can we learn from them, to use as a basis for the construction of new structures, and of a new formal convention to identify the same letters we have been handling since the Phoenicians devised phonetic signs. The complete methodology of the process of design was recreated in the definition of each character, on the basis of diverse formal styles: five different families contributed structures on which an independent style was subsequently built. Apart from defining the essence of each character, the job entailed the side issue of the concept of black and white typography introducing a new structural concept, which totally avoids the separation of letterforms and counters.» (Extracted from Typographic Thought. Buenos Aires, Edicial, 1996)’
