Homelessfonts
www.homelessfonts.org is the first website to let you buy fonts created by homeless people.
Homelessfonts is a creative way to raise and transform the popular view of the issue of homeless people. This initiative aims to bring some dignity to the life of homeless people and raise awareness of this issue, which affects more and more people. Homelessfonts.org was set up as a ground-breaking scheme which joins the artistic side with social commitment. The typefaces homeless people use to make themselves visible in the street become a powerful awareness-raising tool. Individuals and companies can buy these different fonts and use them in different spheres, such as their social networks and corporate identity, whether for advertising, stationery or packaging, etc. The funds collected through Homelessfonts.org are used to finance the work of The Arrels Foundation for homeless people in Barcelona.
