Graphic Designer and Typography Artist

Juanra, better known as Wete, is a graphic designer specialized in typography. After working for various studios in Barcelona, he decided to carve out his own path and focus on what he loved most: typography. With that goal in mind, he founded his own studio, and alongside several friends, he created Ultra Types, a small online type foundry that specializes in display typefaces with a unique approach that sets it apart from larger type foundries.

He has worked on projects for top brands like Adobe, HP, Reebok, Desigual, W Hotels, and Mobile World Congress, among others. His work has also been featured in The Complete Guide to Designing Handmade Type by Charlotte Rivers, Page Unlimited (Sandu 360 Japan), Typodarium, Étapes, Computer Arts, and many more.
