About TD Makatà Font
TD Makatà is a typeface based on the font used in the book “Doctrina Christiana”, the first book printed in the Philippines.
The “Doctrina Christiana” holds one of the earliest examples of printed Tagalog in Romanized and Baybayin script. Baybayin was a writing system based on an Indic script, which was developed prior to contact with the Spanish. The script is evidence of the Philippines’ connection to larger Southeast Asian trends, particularly the use of Indic writing for local languages.
The Challenge
Doctrina Christiana is considered one of the most important books, not because it was the first book printed in the Philippines but because of its valuable contribution to the tradition, language, and culture of the Filipinos.
