Type For Kindness: explore the poster submissions now online
As World Kindness Day gets closer, the visual creatives have answered: graphic design can inspire and nurture kindness in a meaningful, powerful way via means of typography.
The kind-hearted “Fight for Kindness” campaign launched by Typecampus along a selection of partners to spread the message — Typeroom included — has gathered lots of poster submissions that address the urgency for empathy.
This call for typographic artworks to promote the importance of being kind to each other and to the world with “one artwork at a time” is a “unique opportunity to build awareness around this annual appointment, by unifying design communities and celebrating Kindness in a more inspiring way” notes the team.
“In an increasingly self-oriented society, exacerbated by the experiences of pandemic isolation, kindness has collapsed, risking becoming a legacy of times gone by. This is why this project is a unique chance to inspire a change of attitude, by involving the whole creative community” noted the team in its manifesto.
The not-for-profit project’s poster series is now online for all to explore and be inspired.
Powered and “proudly developed” by an all-female team, part of Ligature Srl, consisting of Shrishti Vajpai, Isabella Ahmadzadeh, Sofia Bandini, Veronica Iodice led by Debora Manetti for the design strategy, the “Fight for Kindness” campaign utilizes words and their meaning for good.
“As a long-time frequenter of meditation and personal growth paths, I have developed a special bond with the theme of kindness” explains Manetti, co-founder of Ligature Srl. “I strongly believe it is a profound tool to give value to what we do, as human beings, and to improve ourselves, both as individuals and as a community. And dealing with the value of typography on a daily basis, Fight for Kindness was the natural consequence” she adds.
As noted a selection of posters will be selected to be exhibited in a multi-location exhibition in various cities around the world, in the month of November in honor of World Kindness Day 2022.
The team is currently in the process of organizing the event and the information pertaining to the venues will be announced on this page in the coming weeks. In case you are interested in hosting an exhibit in your city or would like to share your ideas, you are welcome to contact here.
Here we present you a small selection of designs and we urge you to be part of this fight for kindness here.
