Real-Time Response
In 2025, a new EU law on political ad transparency came into effect. A fair idea in theory. But Meta responded by banning almost all issue-based ads across Europe. Gender equality? Blocked. Climate action? Blocked. Human rights? Blocked.
One by one, the voices trying to make the world better were silenced by Big Tech. One of them was RFSL, Sweden’s LGBTQI+ federation, which refused to back down.
The Human Writes Font was created as a way to speak when speaking became impossible. A font people can read, but Meta’s automated moderation systems can’t.
The font was released for anyone to use. It was tested by thousands, spread organically, and picked up by major media.
No media budget. No permission. Just creativity and a refusal to stay quiet.
