International Women's Day 2022

Jan 29, 2022

For the third year in a row, we are excited to be collaborating with International Women's Day (IWD) 2022 and launching our yearly lettering challenge. The 2022 theme is #BreakTheBias and it's all about having the awareness and courage to spot and call out gender inequity.

Imagine a gender-equal world.

A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.

A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

Together we can forge women's equality.

Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.

We continue to be so inspired by the amazing work created by you the Typism Community over the last couple of years, so we're collaborating with IWD again to invite female lettering artists to show their support to the IWD Women Creatives Mission by creating an artwork that highlights this year's new campaign theme 'Break the Bias'.
