“Voice of the Wall” — the font made from real Berlin Wall graffiti

Created by Heimat Berlin for non-profit art association Die kulturellen Erben (The cultural heirs), “Voice of the Wall” is completely based on graffiti letters found on the Berlin Wall. Each letter was digitized from photos of the actual graffiti on the Wall.

It was launched for the 30th anniversary of the Wall’s fall (November 1989) and comes with an important message about “[the] threat walls of all kinds can pose to society and freedoms”.

The font is not available by itself, but as part of an online tool in which you can type any text and download the generated image to use on social media (you can select Instagram, Instagram Stories, Twitter, or Facebook format). Check it out at voiceofthewall.de
