Para Font

Para sa tabi. Para sa lahat.

Para Font is our studio’s take on a font specifically for mass transport systems – trains, buses, jeeps, and even tricycles. Oftentimes, signs oriented to commuters in these modes of transport are designed haphazardly, concealing Metro Manila’s rich typographic character. Taking cues from hand-painted signs, we created a font that would complement and coexist with the existing typographic traditions of the city – not replace it.
