Xiquets
Type-ø-tones · Joan Barjau
A display family by Joan Barjau comprising three stylistically distinct subfamilies drawing on diverse cultural and historical visual references.
About
Three subfamilies — Primitives, Afrotibet, and Egyptmaya — each bring a distinct aesthetic rooted in cultural and historical visual traditions. The family is designed for display use where strong graphic character is required. Its unusual naming and range of references suggest an interest in cross-cultural ornamentation rather than neutral utility.
Classification
The three subfamilies — Primitives, Afrotibet, and Egyptmaya — suggest a decorative, culturally referential display typeface drawing on diverse historical scripts and ornamental traditions, placing it firmly in the experimental display category.
