cuirpoint
A meeting point. A magazine. A movement.
Queer Latin America, gathered.
The mark, in motion.
The wordmark sits inside a double-stroke badge — a luggage tag, a sticker, a backstage pass. The badge glows magenta wherever it lands. The “cp” monogram pulls out into the circular variant for tight spaces.

four rooms, one door.
What lives here · §01
cuirpoint is one address with four entrances. A magazine to read, evenings to attend, a community to belong to, a notebook in between. Each one feeds the others.
01 · magazine
the magazine.
Long-form essays, fiction, and photography from queer Latin America. Published in print and online — bilingual, intentional, paid.
enter02 · events
the gatherings.
Launches, listening rooms, dance floors, reading nights. Wherever cuirpoint lands — San José, CDMX, Buenos Aires — the door is held open.
enter03 · community
the regulars.
Chosen family, not followers. Community groups, group chats, a Saturday dispatch. Not metrics — relationships.
enter04 · notebook
the notebook.
Shorter dispatches between issues. Notes from the road, transcripts of conversations, recommendations, the half-formed thought we wanted to share early.
enterManifesto · §00
cuirpoint is where queer Latin America gathers. A meeting place — physical and digital — for the curious, the loud, the soft, the tired, the powerful. We host the nights you remember and publish the stories that should be told. We are a punto: a dot on the map, a sticker on the wall, a period at the end of a sentence — the start of something else.
the prism, pinned up.
Framework · Kapferer · §02
Kapferer's six-facet model maps how a brand projects outward and lives inward. Each facet here is a badge — peel-and-stick, glowing slightly, pinned where it belongs.

Voice — Do
- Speak in second person, intimately.
- Code-switch Spanish and English without translation.
- Let italics do the seducing.
- Name names. Credit everyone.
- End sentences early. Like that.
- Make the politics personal.
Voice — Don't
- Use the word community as filler.
- Translate cuir. It is the point.
- Default to rainbows or pride-month idioms.
- Write like a brand. Write like a person.
- Engagement-bait. Cliffhang for the algorithm.
- Speak for anyone. Speak with.
