Heimat Berlin: Voice of the Wall for The Cultural Heirs

"Heimat Berlin has developed the Voice of the Wall typeface for non-profit art association The Cultural Heirs, based on letterforms graffitied on the Berlin Wall. It marks the 30th anniversary of the Wall’s fall back in November 1989 and uses the occasion to warn world leaders of the 'threat walls of all kinds can pose to society and freedoms'.

"The typeface is free to use in an online tool, developed by visualtech, wherein you can type your text and download the graphic for use on social media. The project aims to encourage people to use it to make their own “statements of freedom,” which will be collected and turned into a book to be sent to world leaders. 'The starting point was the question: if walls could talk, what would the Berlin Wall say today?' says a statement from Heimat. 'In this way, the typeset allows the Wall a voice and the ability to make a statement about freedom in our world today.'”
