Hello there! My name is Emerson Eller. I'm a professor, researcher, and type/graphic designer based in Brazil. Eller Type is the type foundry through which I disseminate my practices and projects in type design.

My professional activity is divided between teaching, academic research, and the development of independent projects. I have a strong interest in graphic history and visual culture, which inform and support my approach to contemporary design solutions.

I am open to institutional collaborations, research projects, teaching activities, and participation in typographic, editorial, and experimental graphic practices.

I hold a PhD in Communication Design from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon, Portugal (2015–2020), and a Master’s degree in Design from the State University of Minas Gerais, Brazil (2012–2014).
