LATEST RELEASE

ALT MariaClara

Introducing our very first font release in collaboration with Philipina-type designer Alli Cunanan.

ALT MariaClara is dedicated to the strong, confident, brave Filipina women who are breaking away from stereotypes and owning their identities. Named after Maria Clara, a fictional Filipina character who became a colonial figure—an embodiment of submissive, conservative demureness, a myth that allowed Spanish colonizers to subjugate Filipina women.

ALT MariaClara flips the narrative.
