Amputype
Amputype
There are 100 million amputees worldwide, and about 80% can't afford nor have access to a prosthesis. We want to help them. So Google Fonts and HMCT created Amputype: an amputated typeface waiting for its prosthesis. The anatomy of typography uses the same terms as the human body's anatomy, such as: arm, leg, ear, or spine. To spread awareness about the cause, we’ve amputated the universal typeface Noto Sans and built prostheses from other Google Fonts to help amputees receive the prostheses they're waiting for.
