As grades de ferro em Fortaleza: explorando possibilidades de preservação da memória gráfica e cultura material por meio da linguagem tipográfica

Abstract

Introducing Centro of Fortaleza - Ceará as the research environment, this work aims to develop a digital dingbat font based on the ornate iron grilles found in the properties of the neighborhood. Engaging with the preservation of graphic memory, collective memory, and the material culture of the place, the project will be carried out through the mapping, photographic documentation, and analysis of the grilles to construct a set of characters with order and cohesive elements aligned with the proposal. The expected final product will be a dingbat font featuring variations in lowercase, uppercase, numerals, and extra variations
