Graphic Design: Buy Fonts Save Lives does exactly what you'd expect, brilliantly

Date
17 March 2014

Haymarket creative director Paul Harpin has recently launched a new initiative that sees typefaces being sold to raise money for Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support. Paul came up with the idea following the death of his 26-year-old niece, Laura. Since then he’s been designing a hand-drawn typeface in her memory which is now available to purchase form the BuyFontsSaveLives site. Alongside Laura are faces created by Matt Willey and Henrik Kubel and one donated by Michael Heseltine among others. You can also donate fonts to be sold if you happen to be a type designer. So get buying and donating your fonts and help these guys raise as much money as possible.
