Ulalong
Jad Maza · Jad Maza · 2021
A high-contrast calligraphic display typeface rooted in pre-colonial Visayan heritage, offering both Latin and Baybayin script variants.
About
Named after the Visayan tradition of spinning fibres to mark the first month of the pre-colonial calendar, Ulalong carries explicit cultural intent. Its high-contrast calligraphic strokes suit headline and display settings, while the Baybayin variant extends the family into indigenous Philippine script territory. A secondary subfamily, Tigburukad, accompanies the standard cut.
Classification
High-contrast calligraphic letterforms with a strong handwritten energy place this firmly in the display category. The inclusion of a Baybayin script variant further distinguishes it as a culturally specific script display face.
