Hello there! My name is Emerson Eller.



I'm a brazilian graphic and type designer, researcher, teacher, and above all  I'm a letterform enthusiast.



What I do

I work as freelancer, especially with exhibition design, editorial design, corporate identity, and with another projects involving lettering or typography. I also spend my time with personal projects such as type design, letterpress, calligraphy, illustration, and with other print projects.
After getting my master degree in Brazil I moved to Lisbon to continue my studies and to run a research regarding the early printing in Brazil and its relation with Portugal during 18th and 19th centuries.
Since 2017 I run my digital type foundry Eller Type.
