Vocal Typefaces

Vocal is a type foundry that makes typefaces that highlight the history of underrepresented people “from the Women’s Suffrage Movement in Argentina to the Civil Rights Movement in America”. For example, the Martin typeface is based on signs carried by marchers in the streets of Memphis after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

Netflix used Martin for What Happened Miss Simone?, Liz Garbus’ Nina Simone documentary:
