The Polite Type

The Polite Type is a custom font that automatically recognizes and rewrites hate speech. A few tweaks to OpenType’s code made it possible to incorporate a word library and replacement function into a regular font file. TietoEVRY coded its Nordic values of inclusion and equality into a product that effectively communicated to a global audience and made them literally downloadable to anyone’s device.
