Note. Specimen of the typeface Alacran. Copyright by La Fe Ciega.

Based on some carvings of obsidian sculptures, quarry and pre-Columbian architecture. Its rustic cuts, thick and solid strokes emphasize the strength of its structure, its bony appearance and suggestive gothic details. Its design was conceived on the basis of irregular block cuts, with the intention of generating an irregular texture in the text that would generate a sense of antique lettering without losing freshness.
