The Taíno are the Indigenous people of the Caribbean. They left their mark on the islands with their sacred petroglyphs that carry memory, spirituality, and identity. This typeface draws inspiration from those markings and is named after the Taíno, keeping their spirit alive in every letter. By translating ancient visual language into contemporary typography, this design creates a bridge between past and present, honouring a culture whose influence still shapes the Caribbean today.
