Mexica
Sudtipos · Gabriel Martinez Meave
serifNahuatl-tuned contemporary serifitalic
A contemporary serif tuned to the diagonal-heavy orthography of Nahuatl, the Aztec lingua franca of ancient Mexico.
About
Mexica is a typographic tribute to Nahuatl, whose classic orthography abounds in diagonal X Y Z shapes and lacks rounded letters like B D G. Long compound words common to the language shaped the design, alongside daring, stylish serif detailing across several weights and small caps.
Classification
Designed around Nahuatl's diagonal-heavy orthography (abundant X Y Z, absent rounded B D G) rather than a Latin-first letterform brief.
