The Society of Typographic Aficionados has issued a call to action to the typographic and design communities through the launch of Font Aid IV. Following the project’s theme of “Coming Together”, participants are encouraged to design an ampersand to be included in an exclusive typeface. The final typeface will be made available for sale through several type distributors, with all proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders in support of relief efforts in Haiti.
Deadline for submissions is January 29th, 2010.
Express yourself, help the cause, and spread the word.
Grant’s contact information is private.
