THE WORLD’S ONLY COMPLETE BAYBAYIN FONT

All 43 glyphs. Every modern sound based on the historical original Tagalog version of Baybayin. Not available anywhere else.

Every Other Baybayin Font Online is Incomplete

Here’s what nobody tells you:

Search “Baybayin font” on Google Fonts, DaFont, Creative Market, Font Squirrel, or anywhere else online. Download any free or paid Baybayin font you find.

Every single one contains only 18 glyphs (17 original + Ra).

That’s it. 18 glyphs total.

⚠️ What This Means

Those fonts cannot spell modern names correctly. Try to type these names with ANY other Baybayin font:

Name Free Fonts (18 glyphs) Problem
John ❌ Dya-N (or broken) No J glyph exists
Charlie ❌ TSyar-Li (or broken) No Ch glyph exists
Jennifer ❌ Dye-ni-per (or broken) No J or F glyphs
Victor ❌ Bik-tor (or broken) No V glyph exists
Francis ❌ Pran-sis (or broken) No F glyph exists

Result: You can’t create accurate designs. Free fonts fail for most modern English and Spanish names.

This Font Solves That Problem

This is the ONLY Baybayin font in existence with all 43 glyphs.

It includes the 17 original glyphs PLUS 26 expanded glyphs for sounds that didn’t exist in pre-colonial Tagalog but are essential for modern names:

  • J (John, Jose, Jennifer, Joshua)
  • Ch (Charlie, Michelle, Rachel, Christopher)
  • F (Francis, Sofia, Faith, Jeffrey)
  • V (Victor, Vivian, Valerie, Vincent)
  • Z (Zachary, Zoe, Elizabeth)
  • Q (Enrique, Jacqueline)
  • X (Xavier, Felix, Alex)
  • Th (Matthew, Faith, Katherine)
  • Hard C (Carlos, Carmen, Carly)
  • Sh (Joshua, Michelle, Ashley)
  • And 16 more needed for complete modern spelling

✓ With This Font, You Can Type:

Name This Font (43 glyphs) Result
John ✓ J-o-n Accurate
Charlie ✓ Char-li Accurate
Jennifer ✓ Je-ni-fer Accurate

Why This Font is Exclusive

This font is based on the 43-glyph expanded Baybayin system proposed by Ricardo B. Mendoza in 1976 and refined by Fulbright scholar Bayani Mendoza de Leon over 40 years of teaching.

Creating a complete Baybayin font requires:

  1. Deep linguistic knowledge of how to represent modern sounds in Baybayin
  2. Historical accuracy maintaining the authentic character forms
  3. Systematic methodology for extending the script logically
  4. Decades of refinement through actual teaching and use

This isn’t a random font someone cobbled together. It’s the culmination of scholarly work spanning 50+ years (Mendoza 1976 → de Leon 2013), created by a Fulbright scholar who studied under Philippine National Artist Guillermo Tolentino.

No free font has this pedigree. No other font has this completeness.

🔍 Proof: Search For Yourself

Don’t take our word for it. Test this claim:

  1. Search “Baybayin font” on any font website
  2. Download any free or paid font you find
  3. Try to type: John, Charlie, Jennifer, Victor, Francis
  4. Watch it fail

Then compare to this font. Every name works. Every sound covered. That’s the difference between 18 glyphs and 43.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can’t I just use free Baybayin fonts?

A: Free fonts contain only 18 glyphs. They literally cannot type modern names with J, Ch, F, V, Z, or 20+ other sounds. If you need accurate modern Baybayin typography, free fonts won’t work. This is your only option.

Q: Will this work with my design software?

A: Yes. This font works with all major design applications including Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Affinity Designer, CorelDRAW, Canva, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Google Docs, and more. Both OTF and TTF formats are included for maximum compatibility.

Q: Do I need to know Baybayin already?

A: The font works best if you understand the Baybayin writing system. The included glyph reference chart shows all 43 characters, but for systematic learning, we recommend the Complete Digital Learning System which includes the font plus the complete manual teaching all glyphs.

Q: Can I use this for client work?

A: Yes! Your purchase includes a commercial use license allowing unlimited client projects, merchandise design, tattoo work, published materials, and more. You can install on up to 5 devices and create/sell designs using this font.

Q: Is this the same font used in the manual?

A: Yes, this is the exact font developed to accompany Professor Bayani Mendoza de Leon’s comprehensive Baybayin manual. The font and manual were created together as a complete learning and creation system.

Q: What’s the difference between OTF and TTF?

A: OTF (OpenType) is recommended for professional design software like Adobe Creative Suite—it offers better rendering and advanced typography features. TTF (TrueType) ensures compatibility with basic applications like Microsoft Office and older software. Both are included, so you can use whichever works best for your needs.

Q: Can I share this font with others?

A: No, the license is for individual use only. You cannot share, redistribute, or resell the font files. However, you CAN use the font to create unlimited designs for clients—you’re selling your design work, not the font itself. Need team/agency licensing? Contact us for volume pricing.

Q: Will there be updates?

A: Yes, free updates are included. If we fix bugs or improve the font, you’ll receive the updates at no charge. Just re-download from your original link.

Q: What if I have technical problems?

A: Email with any installation or technical questions. We’ll help you get the font working correctly.
