Hawaiian Type

Hawaiian residents are funny in the fact that whenever anything or anyone is mentioned in mainstream news, they get all excited. Except if it's used in a slanderous way, of course.

Now Hawaiians and Hawaiian culture are not only being showcased in books and movies, but also in fonts: Puamana and Kahana are two new fonts created by people in love with Hawaii. They're very interesting. Not entirely sure that they capture the entire essence of Hawaii life, but then again I'm not sure if you can convey that in something so limited as a typeface.
