SOTA : The Society of Typographic Aficionados
Type and graphic designers and other artists are invited to contribute artwork which will become part of a typeface created exclusively for the Font Aid III effort. Dutch designer Max Kisman, contributor to past Building Letters and SOTA projects, developed the font’s concept—a collection of fleurons (also known as flowers or printers’ flowers). Much like the poppy, which has become a symbol for honoring the dead and assisting the living victims of war, Font Aid’s typographic flowers will serve as a symbol of remembrance and hope; a respectful tribute to those who have lost their lives; a helping hand extended to the survivors; and a reminder of the awesome power of nature.
