ALT Maria Clara

POSTER

I worked on a poster using the typeface ALT MariaClara by Alli Cunanan.

To celebrate the launch of their new foundry, ALT.tf commissioned Filipino creatives to produce a series of typographic posters inspired by the ALT MariaClara typeface concept — the modern Filipina woman. ⁠

ALT MariaClara is dedicated to the strong, confident, brave Filipina women who are breaking away from stereotypes and owning their identities. Drawing inspiration from the visual history of the Philippines, incorporating sharp, intricate details and joining a collection of powerful modern serif typefaces we’ve seen grow in popularity, ALT MariaClara is a refined, striking display font built on a story of reclamation and empowerment.

The text that I chose to work with comes from a line in Toribia Mano’s poem called “Tambourines in my heart”
