About
Barrilito's uniform stroke construction makes it well suited to headline settings where visual texture is as important as legibility. The family includes contextual alternates, discretionary ligatures and stylistic alternates via OpenType, giving designers considerable flexibility within its single weight. Latin script coverage spans a broad range of languages across Africa, Europe and the Pacific.
Classification
A single-weight display face derived from wood engraving letter forms, intended for titling and texture-setting rather than running text. Its uniform stroke construction and Latin American wood type heritage place it firmly in the display category.
