The world's largest Collaborative Typeface
🖨✂⚫◾🔠

WTF Team —

☺️ IN AN INCREASINGLY VIRTUAL WORLD, WE'VE DECIDED TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE DIGITAL (and often lonely) APPROACH TO FONTS WITH THIS COLLABORATIVE, REMOTE, WORLDWIDE TYPOGRAPHY WORKSHOP.

Our aim: To create a functional typography in a short time frame by collaborating with as many people as possible, dividing the letters, symbols, numbers and emojis between the participants.
The methodology: Using paper, scissors and glue, build a letter over the "letter grid" following the instructions provided.
The materials: Printer, paper, scissors, glue and scanner ✂️

The schedule:
JANUARY 10 - 13 _ Signup dates.
JANUARY 15 -19 _ You design and forward your assigned letters.
JANUARY 20 - 23 _ W Type Foundry programs the font.
JANUARY 24 - 25 _ Font testing for participants.
JANUARY 27 _ Official release of the font to the public.

LET'S BEGIN THE WORKSHOP
The day has come! We are 100 participants, thank you very much to everybody how signed up. You are about to be part of the biggest collaborative typography ever made!
