Chatype, a font created by designers Robbie de Villiers and Jeremy Dooley out of Chattanooga, Tenn., is set to be the first font created for a town.
“A custom typeface reflects character, extends excitement, and becomes a rally point for suffering projects,” the Chatype website states. “This opportunity…is as important as picking the colors in a flag.”
If the font initiative is approved, Chatype may be used free of charge by city government, local businesses, and Chattanoogans around the city.
