About the Work
In North America alone, 1 in 5 can’t afford period products. This leaves millions to improvise with ineffective, humiliating, and unsanitary alternatives. And yet, no one is talking about period poverty. So a group of designers created a way to insert it into every conversation. One period at a time.
Periods for Periods: The all-period font. Over 230 unique periods, each crafted by an iconic designer. But more than a font, it was a call to action to use these periods in signs of protest, putting pressure on policy makers, and giving a voice to the millions quietly suffering.
