The Ayotzinapa typeface was created as a response to the events of September 26, 2014. On that day, students from the Normal Rural School of Ayotzinapa were attacked by the municipal police of Iguala, Guerrero (Mexico), and allegedly handed over to members of drug trafficking. Since then, the priority of the parents of the disappeared has been to find their children and demand justice. As a result, these activities prevent them from dedicating themselves to their daily work life. Their struggle requires our moral, but also financial support. ¶ Designed by Mexican typographers Raúl Plancarte and Cristóbal Henestrosa, this digital alphabet is born as a way to help this cause. The monetary donations collected will be used to support the daily life of these families. ¶ The Ayotzinapa font is intended to be used in diverse contexts: from posters with revolutionary and activist content, to logos with an urban, spontaneous and challenging structure. It is a typographic design of the stencil genre and has a condensed, energetic and angular look. It is ideal for messages with strength, solidity and decisiveness.
