Vernacular type from El Salvador is about the visual language of a tiny country in Central America. Beyond the colorful and unusual letterforms, it’s how letters are part of our daily lives—as a way to communicate something so simple from a sign in a little store to quotes on cars, to public transportation, or misspelled signs. It’s about how letters shape our culture in a visual way and how we express ourselves through it. Letters are transformed depending on the message.
