Alberto Cortés identity and website
Spanish creative studio LA TECLA brings theatrical nuance and poetic tension to life in their digital identity and website for stage director, playwright, and performer Alberto Cortés. At the heart of the project is Faust by Bouk Ra, a typeface whose dramatic contrast and idiosyncratic details echo the artist’s rich and unpredictable creative journey.
Cortés, who describes his body of work as a “theatrical journey that begins with stray playwriting and grows wild,” sought a platform that could reflect the depth and evolution of his interdisciplinary practice. Latecla responded with a website that feels both enigmatic and emotionally charged – a fitting mirror of Cortés’ narrative voice.
Faust serves as a central visual thread, adding an expressive typographic layer that enhances the site’s overall atmosphere: subtly mysterious, yet deeply human. Paired with considered photography and a minimal layout, the typeface contributes to a sense of theatrical intimacy – perfectly balancing elegance with eccentricity.
On the website, Faust is supported by Héctor Gatti’s Archivo for the menu and all smaller text.
The result is a digital portfolio that feels more like an unfolding performance than a static website, blurring the line between stage and screen, artist and archive.
