Description

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to my first keycap set and first project under BloremBipsum.

This set is an exploration and tribute to the Philippines’ Jeepney culture. From its refurbished parts, bright lights and
colors, and personalized statement pieces, it has cemented itself as a sign of Pinoy ingenuity and creativity.
It is for those reasons why I believe it transfers itself well into the world of Mechanical Keyboard.
I hope that you enjoy this little celebration of my culture and support this set!

Inspirations/Notes:

The artists and their typefaces that helped the project materialize:
Aaron Amar: Cubao Free V2, Quiapo Free V2, Dangwa Free
Lloydiecat: Baybayin Sarimanok

The Alphas uses the typeface Neuebao (derived from Cubao Free V2)

The set's design style is aimed to replicate jeepney signs.

Grabbed from Aaron Amar's Behance page for Cubao Free
