FinalSix is the typographic adaptation of custom lettering for the 2014 European Water Polo Final. While working on the graphics for that event José Manuel Urós had the idea to create a character set that reflected the idea of the undulating movement of water in a pool. With the word “WATERPOLO” as a visual reference, the FinalSix’s characters have rounded tops, bottoms, and diagonals, creating a wavy feeling. Urós defines the process as “form follows meaning.” To preserve its personality as much as possible, the most idiosyncratic characters are found in the Default set, while the more standard variations for editorial use can be found in a Stylistic set.

Type-Ø-Tones is a typographic design company founded in 1990 by Joan Barjau, Enric Jardí, Laura Meseguer and José Manuel Urós. Although we mainly publish our own designs, we collaborate with many other typographers.
In our friend Jan Middendorp words: “They’re a loosely-knit collective of independent individuals, each with their own activities as graphic designers, writers and teachers. They have been making and publishing fonts since the early days of desktop type design and pioneered digital techniques that are now commonplace. Their fonts represent an approach that is, perhaps, typically Catalan: simultaneously adventurous and serious, witty and well-conceived.”
