University Project
Concept: An editorial type specimen exploring the expressive range of Mestiza Sans, a multilingual typeface by Lechuga Type. The project visually narrates the cultural rhythm of the tropics through typography, editorial layout, and imagery drawn from Caribbean and Latin American visual traditions.
Role: Solo — editorial concept, layout design, typographic exploration, and manifesto writing.
Role: Solo — editorial concept, layout design, typographic exploration, and manifesto writing.
Typeface: Mestiza Sans, designed by Lechuga Type.
Process: The publication showcases the typeface across weights and styles (regular, italic, bold, bold italic) while drawing on hand-painted market signage, colonial lettering, and indigenous glyph systems as visual references — framing the typeface within a broader cultural narrative.
Outcome: The publication culminates in a typographic manifesto positioning the alphabet as a living cultural artifact: "the voice of the tropics — loud, layered, alive."
