“Now, we've got to have some changes in this country. And not only changes for the Black man, and only changes for the Black woman, but the changes we have to have in this country are going to be for liberation of all people – because nobody's free until everybody's free.”

– Fannie Lou Hamer, activist and organizer, 1971

This typeface is called Tatsuro, named in honor of a Japanese American named Tatsuro Matsuda who hung a sign reading “I AM AN AMERICAN” outside of his family’s store in Oakland on the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. His family was relocated and incarcerated under the US government’s policy of internment. It is designed by Vocal Type, which creates typefaces inspired by history.
