A stone-carved sign located in Puerto de Veracruz historical district announcing an old hotel called Santo Domingo is the origin of this typeface. The font started as an attempt to develop a complete typographic system inspired by the sign, but the limitations shown by the letterforms made the project take a detour. This typeface ended up being its own thing taking the sign as a starting point. Due to its “vernacular” and “crafted” origins, the letterforms that make this font are traditional in it’s own way producing a versatile and original type family intended for display use but useful for medium size texts.
