OCCUPANT FONTS

ZócaloCyrus Highsmith’s Zócalo series was part of Eduardo Danilo’s
2002 redesign of the leading Mexico City newspaper, ElUniversal. It was inspired by Nicholas Kis’s oldstyle as well as
Highsmith’s impressions of México itself. Zócalo Text derives its
sturdy proportions from Chauncey Griffith’s classic newsface,
Ionic No.5. Zócalo Display is a sparkling, compact design forheadlines and decks. Zócalo Banner is a styilistic variation ofZócalo Display with simplified serifs.
