As a research arm, Tipong Pilipino documents, archives, and critically examines the history and present of Filipino type design — contextualizing letterforms within the broader cultural, social, and political currents in which they were made and continue to live.
As a foundry, it produces type families, bespoke custom typefaces, and digitizations of letterforms found in the Philippine vernacular landscape. Each release — whether an original concept or a commissioned work — is grounded in Filipino context and lived experience.
As a curatorial service, Tipong Pilipino offers consultation and curation for cultural institutions, galleries, publications, companies and government agencies that engage with or speak to a Filipino audience, ensuring that type and visual identity are treated with the care and specificity they deserve.
We welcome collaborators across disciplines — type design, writing, archival work, creative direction, and beyond. If our work resonates, we'd love to hear from you.
