A display typeface drawn from the hand-lettered banners of a 1957 women's suffrage demonstration in Buenos Aires, part of Vocal Type's broader project recovering type from marginalised historical movements.
About
Rooted in the lettering of Argentine suffragist protest, the typeface takes its name and spirit from Eva Perón, whose campaigning was central to the passage of Argentina's women's suffrage law. Vocal Type draws from primary visual sources of activist movements, treating each typeface as a piece of social history rather than a purely aesthetic exercise. The result carries the weight and directness of hand-made signage while functioning as a usable display family.
Classification
Inspired by hand-lettered protest banners from a 1957 Buenos Aires demonstration, the typeface carries the informal, expressive character typical of display type drawn from activist and vernacular lettering sources.
