Brief Explanation

The challenge is to design a font which can be read by both blind and seeing eyes. The key objective is to unite the separate worlds of the blind and the sighted where they function equally.

The Brief

Visually impaired kids may feel lesser to those who are fully sighted because they can’t read the same text. The brief from The Blind Association of Thailand, who believes in equality of the blind and the fully sighted, is to create a font that they can both read and create a world that they can function equally.

How the final design was conceived

We combined English alphabets with Braille letters. As a result, we developed a font that can be read by both seeing and unseeing eyes.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

We first launched it with a story book then implemented to other media which include signage, calender, menu, and posters. This project has promoted the equality of people. Kids are different, but with this book, they see the same world.
