ABOUT

VANDALISMO26® typeface is a tribute to the calligraphy style that '"screams" over the front of the buildings in the center of São Paulo, Brazil. This underground calligraphy, known as "pichação" or "pixo”, is a movement that expresses disagreement and rejection against the system. For some critics, this “vandalism” is considered to be the most disruptive and conceptual contemporary art today. It is a type to be used in headlines. VANDALISMO26® is a mix of the chaotic pixo style representing the nonconformity of a generation. It's a protest to the system in a typographic format.

This project was created on the first 3 months of COVID—19, in the pandemic lockdown in Rio de Janeiro.
