Can a Font Help a City Make a Comeback?
Designers in Chattanooga, Tennessee have distilled the city’s burgeoning creative spirit into a typeface called Chatype. The goal is to help the city and its businesses forge a distinct and cohesive identity through custom typeface, sending a visual message to the world that Chattanooga—a rapidly growing city in the midst of a creative renaissance—is “more than just your average Southern town.”
“If you think of a brand as a story, [Chattanooga] has an amazing story,” Trischler says. “If you look at the visual brand, it doesn’t back up that story.” Perhaps the sleek new font can help tell that story a little better.
Ooohh, interesting….
forever reblog.

Fair fight? Alas, no. But Tyrese had vowed not to kill for food anymore and felt pretty good as a vegan these days. It was the giraffe’s lucky day.
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. — Noam Chomsky (via cultureofresistance)
