Abstract

This article presents a brief situation regarding the typographic field in Latin America. It extensively deals with the definition of typography by examining subjects such as heritage, identity, technology, education, investigation and design practices, following a regional perspective, taking into account that this field has been historically defined under a Eurocentric vision, and that today´s incipient development of the aforementioned issues could contribute to the construction of a geopolitical and socially responsible positioning, leading to a hypothetical decolonization. In order to visualize this concept, the pen of a number of Latin American thinkers was used, and it was connected to theoretical perspectives of different referents on the subject matter, using their own experiences and others close by.
