Đanh Đá was created in collaboration with Huong Ngo, an artist currently based in Chicago, for her project “To Name It Is To See It” and subsequently her visual identity. Unlike other typefaces in the project which are derived from a single typographic example, Đanh Đá is an amalgam of various references from 20th century women's magazines.
Đanh Đá is a bold and condensed sans-serif that carries traces of Art Deco influences from French colonial era with the subtle hardness and boldness of Propaganda style.
