I'm desperately looking for a project that I can use one of the fonts from Homeless Fonts. These fonts are created in partnership with the homeless population served by the Arrels Foundation.
“Homelessfonts.org was set up as a ground-breaking scheme which joins the artistic side with social commitment. It is a creative way to raise and transform the popular view of the issue of homeless people,” stated the director of the Arrels foundation, Ferran Busquets. Thus, the typefaces homeless people use to make themselves visible in the street become a powerful awareness-raising tool.
“I never thought my typeface could be worth anything,” says Loraine, one of the participants … “Thanks to this project, I’ve discovered that my writing is nice enough for a brand like Valonga to take an interest in it and use it on their products.”
