Pau lives in Llinars near Barcelona (Spain, a sunny corner of Europe). Most of Pau's typefaces have been designed while he was waiting to finish a download. He draws letterforms on paper and creates his fonts using Freehand and Fontographer. His first font, Bustia, was made in august 2000. Seems Pau had a lot of stuff to download, since then he has produced 12 fonts :)

Many of his fonts relate to his own life. In the age of 14 Pau was decorating walls with typographic graffiti. 2 years later he began to design protection helmets followed by posters and clothing for mountain-bikers. Today he is a World Cup mountain bike racer himself.

Pau bought his first computer when he was 19. Soon he started programming his first web-site and one year later he made a deal with a biker clothing company. Pau, without studying design produced everything for them from packaging to clothes and their web-site.

A foible for speed and the graphic vocabulary of mountain-bikers can be found in Pau's type design as well as on his web-pages, check his flash animations. Speed everywhere - Pau creates a new font every month without sitting nonstop in front of his computer.
 

The font-world doesn't need any more typefaces because everything has already been invented? Not for Pau: “People with this opinion are really narrow-minded. If we all thought this way, we would still be wearing loin-cloths.”

The fonts which were made while downloading are being returned to download: PM Fonts are available for free, but those who use them are asked to give Pau some samples of his fonts in use to be presented on his web-site. In Pau's opinion people don't really respect stuff that is available for free, so the concept for a team-project came to his mind. His own fontplays with Escacs, Quelcom, Sembla and Trifasic are being displayed on his web-site - hopefully they will have some international companions soon!
