  In the context of the S-PLUS Fornax Project (S+FP), we analyze the galaxy
population in the direction of the Fornax cluster ($D\approx 20$~Mpc). We have
23 fields of size $1.4^{\circ}\times 1.4^{\circ}$, covering the projected
positions of 999 Fornax galaxies reported in the literature. 244 of those
galaxies are detected with confident photometry in our fields which were
observed simultaneously in 12 photometric bands. Besides those of Fornax
galaxies, we obtained confident structural and photometric parameters for
$\approx 3\times10^5$ additional galaxies detected in our fields. In this work
we present preliminary results on the characterization of the galaxy population
of the Fornax cluster with respect to the background galaxy population. Among
other goals, we expect that such a characterization provides photometric
criteria to identify new candidate members of the cluster.
