Andes, designed by Daniel Hernández, is a display typeface that has neo-humanist characteristics. Its different terminals, among other elements, give it a look of mixed typography. It comprises 8 variants, ranging from Thin to Black, each of the same x-height. This typeface contains additional italic glyphs (a, y, z, g) that help to emphasise text or words.
Andes is based on the design of Merced and both of them share several features.
This type is well-suited for use in retail, magazines, logotypes, books, etc.
The girl with the cup is going to the only "store" in Yauri Espinar to buy sugar or flour or something for her mother. The other girl stopped her to talk. I call this my "Comadritas" portrait of life in the high Andes villages.
On the eastern side of the Peruvian Andes, in the sweaty tropical jungles of the Amazon basin, slow moving, turgid waterways form the roads. Three decked cargo boats ferry people and goods between towns and isolated farms cut into the impenetrable forest.

A text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rufous-collared Sparrow (Zonotrichia capensis)
The Rufous-collared Sparrow, Zonotrichia capensis, is an American sparrow which breeds in highlands from the extreme southeast of Mexico to Tierra del Fuego, and on Hispaniola.
This abundant bird is found typically at altitudes between 600 and 4000m, locally lower, in open areas including cultivation, gardens, parks and scrubby second growth. It copes well with urban and suburban environments, but is absent from the Amazon basin. The nest, built by the female, is a cup of plant material lined with fine grasses. It is constructed in matted vegetation on the ground, low in a tree or bush, or lin a niche in a wall. The female lays two or three brown-blotched greenish-blue eggs, which she incubates for 12-14 days. The male helps in feeding the chicks.
The Rufous-collared Sparrow is 13.5-15 cm long and weighs 20-25 g. The adult has a stubby grey bill and a grey head with broad black stripes on the crown sides and thinner stripes through the eye and below the cheeks. The nape and breast sides are rufous and the upperpart are black-streaked buff-brown. There are two white wing bars. The throat is white, and the underparts are off-white, becoming brown on the flanks and with a black breast patch.
Young birds have a duller, indistinct head pattern, with brown stripes and a buff ground colour. They lack the rufous colllar, and have streaked underparts.
There are between 25 and 29 subspecies. In general, the smaller forms occur in coastal mountains, intermmediate birds in the Andes, and large, darker, forms breed on the tepuis. The largest tepui subspecies, Z. c. perezchincillae has grey underparts, and the rufous collar extends as a black band of freckles across the breast. This form might be separable as a distinct species.
The Rufous-collared Sparrow has extensive geograpical variation in its vocalisations (see section below), but calls include a sharp tsip. The male’s song, given from a low perch, typically includes slurred whistles with or without a final trill, tee-teeooo, e’e’e’e’e, or teeooo, teeeee.
The Rufous-collared Sparrow feeds on the ground on seeds, fallen grain, insects and spiders. It is usually in pairs which hold small teritories or in small flocks. It is tame and approachable.

Textos em português:
Tico-Tico (Zonotrichia capensis) - Rufous-collared Sparrow.
Muito obrigado, mais uma vez, ao Marcus pela identificação deste passarinho.
15cm. Identificação: lembra um pouco o pardal, mas apresenta listras branco e pretas no topo da cabeça e um pequeno topete.
É uma ave muito conhecida , presente até mesmo em músicas populares, o tico-tico é bem conhecido não só por ser comum, mas também por não ter medo do ser humano. Nada arisco, é possÃvel chegar a poucos metros desta ave sem que ela se incomode e em locais onde está acostumada pode até mesmo comer na mão.
Alimenta-se de pequenos invertebrados, sementes e pequenos frutos. Aprende a comer em comedouros artificiais, chegando ate mesmo a entrar em casas.
Muito comum em fazendas, também ocorre em cidades, contanto que sejam bem arborizadas.
Os machos são territoriais e podem brigar entre si. Chegam até mesmo a brigar contra a própria imagem refletida em vidros e espelhos retrovisores de carros.
O ninho é geralmente construÃdo em árvores baixas ou trepadeiras, podendo ser até mesmo construÃdo diretamente no chão. A fêmea alimenta os filhotes sozinha.
É a principal vÃtima do chopim ( Molothrus bonariensis ), que bota seus ovos no ninho do tico-tico, que os choca e alimenta os filhotes como se fossem seus. Os filhotes de chopim, muito maiores e mais fortes matam os ``irmãos´´ tico-ticos. Chega a ser revoltante ver a fêmea de tico-tico alimentando os filhotes de chopim, maiores que ela própria e implorando por comida o tempo todo.
A população do tico-tico tem decaÃdo em alguns locais como na cidade de São Paulo e esta decadência tem sido atribuÃda, entre outros possÃveis fatores, ao aumento na população dos chopins.

Esta espécie é muito conhecida pelo seu constante convÃvio com o ser humano. Seu canto diurno tem 4 ou 5 assobios claros e bem pronunciados e à noite, ou em situações de perigo, mesmo durante o dia, emite o chamado canto noturno que é forte e diferente do primeiro.
Alimentação: sementes e insetos, apanhados geralmente no solo onde se movimenta aos pulinhos.
Nidificação: constróem o ninho, em forma de tijela, em arbustos, moitas de capins, barrancos e mesmo no chão. Utilizam raÃzes e ramos no trançado externo. Os 3 a 5 ovos medem cerca de 21 mm x 15 mm e são verde-amarelados claros cobertos por pontos pardo-avermelhados ou cor-de-vinho. Após 12 ou 13 dias de incubação, os filhotes, ao nascer, são alimentados pelos pais por uma esfera de artrópodes amassados; à medida que crescem, passam a receber insetos inteiros presos à s maxilas dos pais. Os filhotes abandonam o ninho 9 a 12 dias após o nascimento, tornando-se independentes com cerca de 20 a 30 dias de vida. Os ninhos de tico-tico são fortemente parasitados pelo chopim (Molothrus bonariensis), sendo esta uma das possÃveis causas do declÃnio de suas populações, outrora muito mais numerosas.
Hábitat: áreas abertas como campos, jardins e praças urbanas com vegetação.
