Author's note

Guhit Baybayin is a free Baybayin display font built from smooth monoline strokes and broad, open curves. The lettering has a spare, hand-drawn quality, with detached marks and looping shapes that make each character resemble a compact symbol.

Packaging is an especially convincing medium for this design, since its emblem-like forms connect lettering with Filipino craft, food, or cultural themes, and it also suits festival posters and educational publishing. In games and merchandise, the same economical lines can become illustrated icons, linking these different uses through a clearly recognizable Baybayin-inspired structure.
