Maroons

Maroons is the official type family of the UP Fighting Maroons. Developed by @plus63designco from @ajdimarucot’s initial design, the typeface was used for the rebranding of the University of the Philippines’ collegiate varsity program.

Aggressive and athletic, Maroons is inspired by constructivist and activist aesthetics rooted in the university’s proud history of igniting socio-political action. Its forms are angular, sharp, and unyielding—a bold distinction from the typical serif and blackletter typefaces used by rival academic institutions in the Philippines.
