Fleurons of Hope

[budafist]

I just stumbled across this - it is old news, but I couldn't find anything on this forum when I did a search for it.

Fleurons of Hope is part of Font Aid III, a project launched by a diverse collection of type designers and font foundries, who all wish to help victims of the South Asian Tsunami. SOTA, a US-based non-profit, is acting as a non-partisan organizing body to help coordinate the effort and ensure all funds are distributed appropriately.

The Fleurons of Hope font contain over 400 glyphs submitted by designers from all across the globe.

What an awesome idea. I'm not sure how useful they would be, but more like a collectable font for design geeks. Good to see good people doing good things :)
