Bantayog Sharp
Jad Maza · Jad Maza · 2025
A 14-style sans-serif family drawn from the letterforms cast on Philippine historical markers, supporting both Latin and the indigenous Baybayin script across seven weights.
About
Bantayog Sharp takes its forms directly from the inscribed characters of Philippine bantayog — the historical stone markers used to commemorate national figures and events. The result is a crisp, structured sans-serif with a distinct cultural source, available in seven weights with matching italics. Baybayin support alongside Latin makes it one of the few contemporary families to treat the indigenous Philippine script as a first-class citizen.
Classification
A structured sans-serif with crisp, geometric qualities drawn from lettering found on Philippine historical markers. The upright, workhorse character and broad weight range place it in the humanist sans tradition with a distinctive regional source.
