What is: Diversity Is
The Diversity Is Project is an effort to recognize, celebrate, and promote the limitless value of diversity worldwide. One of the project’s core goals is to highlight the work of gifted type designers while demonstrating how a wide range of typefaces can work together in harmony—a visual metaphor for the beauty of diversity.
Created by graphic designers experienced in communicating with diverse audiences, the Diversity Is Project aims to share this important message with our communities through posters, stickers, t‑shirts, digital media, and more. Through these materials, these designers seek to be active participants in the ongoing discourse surrounding Diversity, Inclusivity, Equity, and Belonging.
