Variante Piñera
W Type Foundry · Diego Aravena
A conceptual typeface by Diego Aravena in which every character bears the rejection mark used on Chilean state aid applications during the pandemic.
About
Designed as a political statement by Diego Aravena, the typeface draws on the bureaucratic symbol of insufficiency stamped on welfare applications under President Piñera's government. Every character the user types is rendered as rejected, turning text itself into a critique of neoliberal state policy and the marginalisation of Chile's working population. Available as a free personal-use download.
Classification
A conceptual display typeface where every letterform is marked with the rejection stamp used on Chilean pandemic aid applications, making it a political artefact rather than a conventional text face.
