While working on the Mr Masking book, Pupila got him to paint a full character set in his distinctive style.

If anyone is interested in turning this into a functional #typeface for the benefit of his surviving family then please let me know.

Alternatively, you can contact Alfredo at Pupila directly via the email address given on today's post about Mr Masking and his work: https://bl.ag/the-magic-of-mr-masking-costa-ricas-king-of-tape/

'The Magic of Mr Masking, Costa Rica's King of Tape' is today's despatch from bl.ag online: https://bl.ag/the-magic-of-mr-masking-costa-ricas-king-of-tape/

The feature looks back at the work of Mr Masking (aka Gerardo Picado, RIP) and the typographic vernacular he created in San José.

Thanks to the work of Pupila, a branding and graphic design studio, Mr Masking's legacy lives on in film, print, and photography.
