Note. Specimen of the typeface Chunga. Copyright by Dis imprenta.

Chunga is a monolinear script style typeface, developed for printing, specifically conceived as a piece of identity and communication. It is a connected alphabet, in which each sign flows without interruption thanks to a constant stroke thickness that reinforces legibility and visual homogeneity. The capital letterforms feature generous loops - such as the C in "Chunga" - that add dynamism and ornamental character, while the lowercase letters maintain a high x-height, guaranteeing an optimal balance between body and ascenders.

The rounded terminals and gently curved joints evoke calligraphy with a nib, while preserving the geometric precision of the grid of a digital layout. This duality gives the set a simultaneously handcrafted and contemporary presence, ideal for editorial and corporate identity applications.
