What You Can Type With El Barrio

El Barrio is an all-caps font: it only has capital letters. Lowercase letters will show up in a different font or as empty boxes, so turn on Caps Lock when you type. All ten numbers are included. Common punctuation such as &, !, ? and @ is included as well. It doesn't include accented letters such as é or ñ, which makes it an English-only font.

Where El Barrio Works Best

Designers usually reach for fonts like El Barrio when they're making streetwear, album covers and urban posters. Use it big and give it room. Graffiti letters are packed with detail, so they look best as one or two words, not full sentences.
