The fonts can be seen in its +dingbatsbrasil) and related matters (in the dingblog).
The themes of most of the exhibited projects emanate from a broad cultural sphere, and they are carried in a comprehensive bunch of languages and styles – which reflect the diversity of Brazilian contemporary graphic arts. The initiatives of rescuing and registering aspects of Brazilian culture – music, religion, art, sports, culinary and even design itself – could be understood as a premeditate or unintentional way of popularizing the Brazilian-way-of-life through graphic design
