About Protest Revolution

Protest Revolution is a display typeface that reproduces letters painted quickly with a loaded brush. It is one of four families in the Protest Types, Octavio Pardo's personal project on the look of protest signs, and the notes describe it as the voice of furious, messy painted placards. In the specimen the strokes lean to the right, thicken where the brush presses and break into streaks where the paint runs dry; edges are ragged and letter heights vary slightly. The family has one Regular style, with no italic or bold, and is not a variable font. Its 575 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. The project notes list Strike, Guerrilla and Riot as sharing spacing and kerning; Revolution is not named among them. Protest Revolution is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Protest Revolution works

Protest and campaign posters

The face was drawn after hand-painted placards, so a slogan looks brushed onto the board in a hurry.

Music and gig artwork

Streaked, ragged strokes give a band name or tour title a raw, hand-painted surface.

Social media statements

A short phrase in dry-brush letters stands out against flat backgrounds in square posts and stories.

Film and book titles

Uneven heights and a forward lean lend urgency to a title set in two or three words.
