About this typeface:
A rough and tumble script from the prolific Argentine duo of Koziupa and Paul. Although the overall ‘wildness’ of Cenizas is reminiscent of popular mid-twentieth century English display scripts, the humor and ingenuity of Koziupa’s Latin brush remain evident in the underlying structure of the design.
Casual, care-free and adventurous, Cenizas is a great choice for designs relating to activities like outdoor sports and travel. The roughness of the script also makes it quite useful in other contexts such as art books, historical novels, museum literature, and cartographic designs.
The OpenType version of Cenizas combines both the regular and alternate character sets into a single, cross-platform package that takes advantage of the extended typographic features of the OpenType format.
