Pichacao is a typeface based on the Pixacao art of Sao Paulo. It takes influence from rune markings as well as typefaces used on rock and metal album covers.

Since it emerged in the nineteen eighties the typeface has become connected to protest. Success with pixacao is seen through height and complexity of what is being tagged.

The inspiration for this project was largely based around the desire to improve my skills with Fontlab, which I had recently started using.
