Malikot Typeface
Typeface Design
Spring 2021
Malikot (adj.)(Tagalog): naughty, mischievous
Malikot is a display typeface created for the unique identity that Filipinx-Americans hold. Inspired by the aesthetics of the homeland and the new cultural enclaves Filipinx immigrants have made their new homeland, it mixes strokes of the lost Baybayin script and the movement of funky Latin type. The mix of winding and curving forms make Malikot a typeface that is both traditional and fun.
Special thanks to Lynne Yun.
