Tomate was designed by Ramiro Espinoza and published by Re-Type. Tomate contains 4 styles and family package options.
Tomate started in 2006 as a brush lettering exercise for a poster and was later used for the ReType identity.
In 2008 its author decided to turn it into a super fat typeface suitable for packaging and mass consumption products.
The possibilities of ultra heavy forms are explored in this alphabet; trying to solve the design problems that these sort of forms present.
Tomate shows influences from the beautiful Goudy Heavyface Italic which is a design the author admires.
