We are a chilanga antenna that seeks to diversify culture among passionate about letters in all its manifestations. We want to promote informal meetings that show what is happening in the city and in the country.
We seek to share knowledge among those who produce, appreciate and use lyrics, whether professionally or informally, even as amateurs.
We want to link, integrate and generate relationships between designers, artists, creatives, educators, practitioners and anyone who finds a fascination for written letters: sign paiting, calligraphy, type design lettering, printing, letterpress and editorial design.
We are passionate about letters, we see them everywhere; in what we eat, in what we read and on the streets where we walk. So we are waiting for you, join us, if you have something to say or share, we want to hear from you.
