EP02 - Aaron Amar - Official "Unofficial Filipino Type" Master
For the first try in designer interviews, we check in with typographer #AaronAmar (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23AaronAmar) whose body of work proudly shows the Filipino life, from street culture with his types Quiapo and Cubao and also helping us get in touch with our very own writing system Baybayin thru Malamaya and Titulo Tagalog.
This came in light of the Enhanced Community Quarantine in times of COVID-19 in the Philippines so why not push for productive ways while still being at home.
