From South Sulawesi comes a timeless legacy—the I La Galigo, an epic of the Bugis people. Written in ancient manuscripts, it tells of the world’s creation, of gods and humans, of love and loss, power and glory—and above all, what it means to be human. Passed down through generations, it is a vast lesson in humanity.

Perangai Manusia reimagines this epic through typography, where each value of human wisdom is given form through letters and design. In this way, an old tradition finds new life, offering modern audiences a fresh perspective on timeless truths.
