Iran: Angry Typeface
Iranian women have been forced to wear hijabs since 1979, and they have been facing violence if not worn ‘correctly,’ or not worn at all. In 2022, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, was killed by the Morality Police during custody, starting an ongoing series of protests and civil unrest for women’s rights. Since September 2022, over 500 protesters were killed, at least 1,000 were injured, out of 90,000 people who are angry over the violence against women. Iran, the angry typeface, is dedicated to Mahsa Amini and the people who are fighting for their rights.
