Graphic Designer Specializing in Calligraphy

Originally from Argentina, Joaquín Seguí is a graphic designer specialized in calligraphy. He began working with calligraphy more than a decade ago and hasn't stopped developing and studying letters since. He uses calligraphy applied mainly to graphic design, editorial design, and advertising and divides his time between calligraphy and abstract art-oriented projects: two things he always felt were closely related

Joaquín has worked with clients such as Nike, Johnnie Walker, Hyatt, Dior, and Tiffany & Co., among others. He is also a teacher and has taught calligraphy at the university level and through various workshops.
