Acción Modular is a display typeface that comes from the title font of the Argentinian magazine Hombre de America: Fuerte y Libre. A bimonthly publication, Hombre de America ran for 27 issues from 1940 until 1945, and was broadly left/anarchist in orientation. It was a large format magazine with stunning covers and was lavishly illustrated by contemporary South American printmakers. Hombre de America was widely distributed throughout the Americas and in international anarchist circles. The original title font, an aerodynamic modular typeface (from which Acción Modular was based)*, was eventually replaced by a more digestible, less intriguing, slab serif.
