Canalha is an ultra-condensed display typeface inspired by Waldemar Cordeiro’s striking 1966 artwork of the same name. Designed to embody the bold visual impact and socio-political tension of the piece, its tight letterforms and rigid geometry create a compressed yet powerful rhythm, making it perfect for contemporary editorial, posters, and protest-inspired design.
With its stark verticality and visual pressure, this font echoes the spirit of concrete art and typographic experimentation, channeling a sense of urgency and provocation. Whether used in minimalist layouts or radical compositions, Canalha provides a sharp, uncompromising visual voice.
More than a typeface, Canalha is a statement—confrontational, deliberate, and unapologetically modern.
