Central is a typeface derived from MxT Santanera, featuring a much cleaner and more aesthetic profile. It draws its formal and conceptual foundation from vernacular Mexican lettering—specifically, hand-painted sign lettering found primarily in popular cultural settings such as markets, the Centrales de Abasto, and vintage buses— but now with a slightly more dynamic and stylized feel, developed in a script style. Together, these elements give it an asymmetrical and contrasting appearance in its forms, with uppercase letters featuring a baseline that dips slightly to lend the text a somewhat more dynamic body. With a completely dynamic design that leaves little room for straight lines, its curves define it and create a wide range of playful counterforms and contrasts, with highly varied curved terminals and extensions without losing a certain experimental flair in its forms and overall typographic presence, making this typeface a display font with many possibilities for use and application.
