Maragsâ is a typeface inspired by the distinctive pakupyâ accent mark, a diacritical guide used in Filipino to indicate proper pronunciation. The sharp, tapered edges of the accent mark influenced the design, giving the characters their pointed tips, fluid strokes, and abrupt cuts. These features mirror the precise and emphatic way words with this stress are meant to be spoken, creating a visual rhythm that echoes the linguistic cadence of the language.
