The Brief
Everything we see in ads, posters, packaging, even in mails or social networks, are fonts that
the brands or someone paid for their rights.
So it occurred to us to take hand-written letters with which the homeless make their signs and
make new fonts that are sold on a website so that the brands use them in their advertising and
corporate messages. The money earned goes to the author of the font through the Fundación
Arrels.
We build a category. A new way of collaborating for the brands.
'The fonts that Valonga uses on this label belong to HomelessFonts.org which helps to reinsert
people from the street'
The brands use hand-written fonts because they reflect humanity and a distinctive personality.
Each human being has a unique writing style. Nevertheless, no-one wants to see the signs of
the homeless.
Moreover, for a modest cost, people could download an app of the fonts and personalise what
they write in social networks.
