ABOUT

Buena Type is a (WIP) typographic studio and type foundry run by Marissa Balbuena and Mark Sanzetenea—a partnership that combines creative depth with operational clarity.

We focus on type design, lettering, typesetting, and typographic consulting for clients across hospitality, food, and editorial spaces. Buena Type’s work is grounded in care, context, and clear communication. Every project is approached with a belief that typography is not decoration—it’s structure, voice, and presence.
Our Philosophy

We design with purpose and context in mind.


Clarity, usability, and care are built into every detail.


We focus deeply on what we do best: typography.


Our work is sincere, values-driven, and not trend-led.


We communicate openly and grow through feedback.


We support others by listening and acting with integrity.
