Since 1999, The Society of Typographic Aficionados has organized series of charitable projects under the banner of Font Aid. New fonts have been designed and sold to raise funds for a variety of relief efforts in the wake of events like 9/11, earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes. A new project, Font Aid VII, has been initiated to raise funds to support the Philippine Red Cross relief efforts after the events of Typhoon Haiyan.
The new project will create a typeface consisting entirely of images based on the eight-rayed sun from the Philippine flag, symbolizing hope, unity, and rebirth.
You can participate by creating a single glyph for the font, using Adobe Illustrator, Fontlab, or UFO, based on the submission guidelines.
The deadline for submission is Sunday, December 1st, 2013.
