Sounds-of-Protest Typeface
The Sounds-of-Protest typeface gives the climate change movement a voice, and articulates their beliefs through symbolic typography. There are two fonts available, Regular and Fill, both based on the concepts of sound and cymatics. It is designed for protesters, activists, people who contribute, but also for people that are uninformed. It is a call to action.
