THE ASK
Reimagine the role of typography in the tension between freedom and law & order. Choose a cause or idea that grapples with this tension and create a campaign that puts typography at the core.
PROBLEM
Government agencies are quietly removing documents and censoring language to comply with Executive Order 14168. While the issue has sparked media attention, the full scale of what's being erased from the public record remains alarmingly unclear.
OPPORTUNITY
To help the public grasp what’s being erased, we need more than headlines—we need tools that let them interact with what's what’s being lost.
SOLUTION
Use typography to expose government censorship and restore the words being quietly erased.
