Commissioned by Heavyweight Digital Type Foundry, this campaign documents the making of «Animo Tracks», the printed specimen of their latest typeface release ‘Animo’. Shot entirely on 35mm film, the series captures the texture and rhythm of risograph printing inside Oscar García’s workshop, where the fanzine is produced entirely by hand from start to finish.
Oscar is a quiet perfectionist and a craftsman with a deep love for risography. One ink at a time, he manually feeds each sheet into his vintage Japanese ‘RP3700’ printer. With four colours per side — aqua, yellow, fluor pink, and black — and eight passes per sheet, every layer is aligned by hand with near-mechanical precision. It’s slow. It’s deliberate. The process requires focus and patience, but the results are vivid, full of character, and often unpredictable.
Oscar dedicates hours to meticulously aligning each layer of the print, making adjustments measured in fractions of a millimetre. As he examines every print, techno music hums in the background and his cigarette smoke lingers in the air. These images capture that process: imperfect, deliberate and alive.
That tension between control and unpredictability mirrors the spirit of Animo. The typeface is bold and structured, yet never stiff. There’s movement in its forms — a looseness, a sense of rhythm that feels hand-tuned rather than mathematical.
Shot on Kodak Ultramax 400 with a 2004 Minolta Dynax 60. Films developed and scanned by Jacobo Biarnés Photo Studio. Special thanks to Oscar García Ferrer for his patience and magic. Thanks to Jan Horčík and the Heavyweight Digital Type Foundry team.
