Font Aid IV:
Coming Together, a Collaborative Typeface
The Society of Typographic Aficionados (SOTA) announced the launch of Font Aid IV, a project uniting the typographic and design communities in raising funds to expedite relief efforts in Haiti. Designers from around the world were invited to contribute artwork for a typeface to raise relief funds for Haiti.
My ampersand was based on the form of the letter 'H' which stood for Hope & Haiti.


Rocky & Hanif (+ generous unknown helper) get their hands dirty on a friendly neighbourhood wall with an ampersand. The ampersand a clear inspiration from Herb Lubalin is a character from the classic typeface Pistilli Roman, which they believe will urge people to look at obscure walls in a new light & wonder & then ponder.
They plan to immortalize the entire alphabet thus; may the type & graffiti gods give them the time and courage to do so. Amen!
