Forecast typeface embodies the consequences of man-made climate change. It illustrates the problems posed by extreme weather events such as floods and droughts.

Define the problem/need you are solving or addressing with your project. How does it address the Open Call criteria, such as environmental impact, social engagement, circularity, user experience, resource efficiency, and community-driven solutions?

The purpose of my typeface is to raise awareness of the growing problem of climate change. It is an issue that affects everyone around the world.

Please describe your project, reflecting on the concept, inspiration, materials, technical aspects, methods and process(es).

Forecast is a variable typeface. It is made up of four masters. Flash Flood, Flood, Moderate Weather and Flash Drought. Moderate Weather illustrates a balanced climate, while the other masters depict the destruction caused by an unbalanced climate.

What do you think makes your project innovative compared to the existing efforts and ideas in the field it addresses?

Showing climate change in the form of a typeface is not a common occurrence. Even though a lot of design uses typography. So it’s my approach to highlight the problem through typography, which can be used to strengthen a design’s message.

Does it impact or reflect young people need(s) and how?

Extreme weather has already destroyed many livelihoods around the world. The more climate change continues, the more destruction there will be. It’s something we’ll have to deal with sooner or later.
