Tropikal is a typeface that embodies both vintage elegance and a spirit of adventure. Its origins lie in a curiosity about how old Philippine typography would look in a contemporary context. The typeface is a modern interpretation of a classic serif style, drawing inspiration from bank notes, newspapers, and packaging designs from the 1800s.
Tropikal's most distinctive features are its sharp edges, high contrast between thick and thin strokes, and semi-tilted cross bars. These elements give the typeface a unique personality that can range from vintage to modern and expressive.
The letterforms of Tropikal stand well on their own, but users can also experiment with image overlays or shadows to create a more adventurous feel. Whether used for print or digital media, Tropikal is a versatile typeface that brings a touch of elegance and excitement to any design project.
