PROJECT DETAILS
With Guatemala having the largest amount of Latinx Refugees coming into the United States, the the Cultural Orientation Resource Center needed a guidebook to help welcome incoming refugees.
A large part of Guatemalan refugees are younger indigenous girls. So for the color palette we go inspiration from Guatemalan textiles.
As for the typography, the entire booklet uses the typefaces MD Maya and the Merel family. MD Maya is a display typeface created by the design studio Moby Digg.

It was inspired by the indigenous Mayan civilization that inhabited land in Guatemala and other parts of Central America. The typeface takes inspiration from ancient Mayan runes and hieroglyphics.
We used it to help create illustrative typographic imagery to create visual interest for the reader. Playing with scale and color to create stunning type based imagery that aims to grab the attention of our audience. Aiming to attract the interest of incoming Guatemalan refugees through color and typography.
