Fidalga

by Israel Dideoli · Website

Fidalga is a distressed display font inspired by the lambe-lambe paste-up posters of the Fidalga print shop in São Paulo. Each character carries the worn texture of aged letterpress printing, with ink erosion, dropout, and irregular stroke edges that feel genuinely printed rather than digitally filtered. The inconsistent character heights and mixed serif styles reinforce that handmade, salvaged quality.
