The Young Ones competition is one of the most acclaimed advertising, interactive and design student competitions. It has a tradition of excellence dating back to 1986.
There are 100 million amputees worldwide, and about 80% can't afford nor have access to a prosthesis.
We want to help them. So Google Fonts and HMCT created Amputype: an amputated typeface waiting for its prosthesis.
The anatomy of typography uses the same terms as the human body's anatomy, such as arm, leg, ear, or spine. To spread awareness about the cause, we’ve amputated the universal typeface Noto Sans and built prostheses from other Google Fonts to help amputees receive the prostheses they're waiting for.
