BAYANIHAN
Bayanihan is a typeface that lies at the intersection of several categories. It draws its inspiration from Baybayin, an ancient pre-colonial Philippine script primarily used by the majority of tribes that would later form the nation of the Philippines.
Research suggests that the characters of this ancient script were inspired by nature, reflecting the close ties between these tribes and the exotic wildlife of the archipelago.
Today, there is a renewed interest in Baybayin, which has become a historical symbol of Philippine cultural identity and a representation of decolonization.
Bayanihan aims to serve as a bridge between the past and the present, fostering pride in cultural heritage while inspiring the desire to establish a unique Philippine identity.
