Climate crisis typeface, by Helsingin Sanomat
Finland’s biggest subscription newspaper Helsingin Sanomat revealed a climate crisis typeface this month, which sought to visualise the effects of environmental decay. The letters’ weight varies according to information collected from the National Snow and Ice Data Centre from 1979-2019 and continues in alignment with that trend until 2050. “The typeface aims to set the often hard-to-grasp climate change as an acute experience and to initiate more immediate action,” the paper says. It’s free to download and use.
