Ricardo Rousselot (1936) is an Argentinian designer and calligrapher. After several years living and working in Chicago and a few more at Buenos Aires, he was seduced by Barcelona, the modernism, the sea, the mountains… and contributed decisively to the renovation of design in Catalonia and in Spain.
Specializing in the arts of writing, development and design of new typefaces, his jobs, especially in the field of packaging stand out by his use of typography, all designs are inspired by his fondness for letters.

He has been invited by numerous schools to teach classes, workshops and conferences, and is the author of articles on design, typography and handwriting. In the years 2001 and 2003 he was nominated for the "National Design Awards" that recognize those professional trajectories that have excelled in the field of design or innovation in Spain.
His background as a designer was made almost entirely in Chicago, USA. Open to sharing his knowledge with younger generations, he has given conferences and workshops at prestigious schools of Design and in the University of Barcelona .
At the beginning of the 1950s, after studying commerce, he began to work in Buenos Aires in the field of graphic arts.
