The typefaces are then made available for purchase, with profits going toward food, shelter, and social and health care for the 1,400 people supported by the Arrels Foundation (approximately half of all the homeless in Barcelona).
What’s not to love about the initiative? More on the Homelessfonts site.
Also, every council should have a webpage like this: What to do if you see a person sleeping on the street.

Interesting blog post and cause to highlight, not only are the type fonts an interesting selection, it's highlighting an issue with today's modern difficulties.
