Author's note

Tagalog Doctrina 1593 by Paul Morrow is a free historical symbol font built from stark geometric signs and flowing, calligraphic marks. Its forms alternate between rigid crossed squares and loose hooked curves, creating a distinctly hand-drawn set of pictographs.

Early writing systems and archival themes make it a useful fit for museum graphics and educational publishing. It can also support historical exhibitions, book covers, and cultural event materials. The recurring contrast between framed crosses and curling strokes lets the symbols function as illustrations as well as type.
