Through this compilation, I hope to provide a window into the learning journey that took place and the craft heritage that was explored.

Element Illustrations
Ambit’s humanist warmth suits friendly headers, Akzidenz Grotesk’s balanced crispness brings structure, and Abacaxi adds a playful, contemporary flair. Together, they create a versatile mix of readability, clarity, and expressiveness for diverse design applications.
The elements designed are sketched in procreate, and the forms are taken directly from the beautiful intricacies of the craft itself, representing the motifs and lifestyle of the people.
