Leandro Typeface Pro

In line with the Philippines celebration of National Arts Month this February, I am honoring the great Architect Leandro Locsin. "Leandro V. Locsin (August 15, 1928 – November 15, 1994) was a Filipino architect, artist, and interior designer known for his use of concrete, floating volume and simplistic design in his various projects. He was proclaimed a National Artist of the Philippines for Architecture in 1990 by the late President Corazon C. Aquino." -wikipedia

Leandro Locsin is known for his Brutalist Architecture. Brutalist buildings are characterised by their massive, monolithic and 'blocky' appearance with a rigid geometric style and large-scale use of poured concrete.

Some of the well-known works of Mr. Locsin are the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Davao International Airport, Manila Hotel, and the Design Center of the Philippines, CCP Complex to name a few.

This typeface was inspired by Leandro Locsin's architectural designs, blocky and rigid. Leandro Typeface Pro includes 320 glyphs with international language support.
