Book of poems about the local culture of biroscas (popular bars) and terreiros (place of Afro-Brazilian religious ceremonies) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Divided in two parts, the design explores the black vs white relation through an organic language: all the letters were handcrafted with chalk (an element present in both biroscas and terreiros) in an spontaneously and ordinary way — in reference to everyday culture — instead of the cold use of typography. Imprecision, error and improvisation become language, and represents adequately the content, emphasizing the human aspect of the book.
