A display typeface by New Zealand designer Joseph Churchward that grafts traditional Māori decorative elements onto standard Latin letterforms, creating an expressive and culturally specific design.
About
Part of a series of eight Māori-style typefaces by the late Joseph Churchward, this face blends conventional Latin glyph structures with indigenous Māori ornamental forms to produce a wildly organic result. BluHead Studio has expanded the original character set to support a broader range of European languages. A companion release, Churchward Ta Tiki, is available from the same foundry.
Classification
A display typeface that fuses Latin letterforms with traditional Māori decorative motifs, producing an organic and ornamental character that places it firmly in the decorative display category.
