Launched by artist-activist Mirko Ilić in 2017, The Tolerance Project showcases posters designed by artists from around the world:
He asked 28 artists to create a poster about tolerance, the only requirement being that they write “tolerance” in their native language. After a successful 10-day show in Ljubljana, Mirko decided to tour the posters globally.
For his contribution, Israeli designer David Tartakover opted for a photographic self-portrait in which he applied lipstick. The text is in English, Arabic, and Hebrew, and makes early use of Abraham. This multiscript typeface for public signage was designed as my graduation project at the KABK in The Hague. Abraham was subsequently released with Fontef.
