Font Aid IV / Ampersands for Haiti
One from the home front.
Above: My two-cents for Font Aid IV, sponsored by the Society for Typographic Aficionados (SOTA). From their website:
“Type designers, graphic designers and other artists from around the world are invited to contribute artwork to be included in a typeface created exclusively for the Font Aid IV effort. The theme of Font Aid IV is “Coming Together” which we will represented though a font consisting entirely of ampersands. Coming Together will be made available for sale through several type distributors, with all proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders. SOTA, a US-based non-profit, is acting as a non-partisan organizing body to help coordinate the effort and ensure all funds are distributed appropriately.”
Submissions are welcome until January 29, 2010.
