This typography project is a technical interpretation of PIXO, a marginalized culture that 'screams' across the buildings of one of the biggest cities in South America: São Paulo.
It aims to offer a different perspective on this anti-establishment and genuine expression, revealing beauty where others see only destruction.

After an extensive research and development phase, we designed a comprehensive character set—including uppercase, lowercase, numerals, and special symbols—totaling 178 glyphs.
The typeface was engineered to retain the raw visual DNA of the Pixo street art aesthetic, while incorporating a precise, functional structure suited for contemporary digital and print applications.
