The pixo reto writing: a study on its pratical and formal aspects.
pixação; pixo reto; urban writing; calligraphy; typography.
This research investigates the pixação, more precisely the signatures of the style known as pixo reto, with the aim to examine its practical and formal aspects. Its exemplars are analyzed with the intention of identifying the attributes that singularize it as a writing, through photographs recorded in their original context. For this, it is based on a theoretical framework that provides the necessary contribution for the definition of the observed characteristics or variables, such as the stroke thickness, the construction and the proportion of the letters, as well as the space between them. In addition, the action that materializes the presence of the signatures in the cityscape is described considering the manipulated instruments, the intervened supports and the modalities practiced.
