If Kawit, Cavite wasn’t included in your field trip itinerary, was it even one? Apart from history books and educational film viewings, we owe our early awareness of Philippine history to the municipality of Kawit, where one of our earliest revolutions brewed and had its first taste of freedom.
Today, we see traces of this history in the place’s long-standing establishments, characterized by similarly-stylized typefaces. On the internet, Aaron Amar decided to breathe life into these letters with his free front, “Kawit.” Characterized by three weights and nostalgic curves and swashes, “Kawit” resembles the inventiveness of archaic Philippine lettering.

How important do you think is art’s role in promoting sovereignty, unity, equity and freedom—words you mentioned in your post?
