1813: Chatype Dec 2, 2019

In 2012, the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee raised over $11,000 to create its own typeface. The typeface is called Chatype, and it is a serif-font. The move was done for publicity, but also to help to rebrand the city as an artist-friendly environment. This was the first time a US city had its own custom typeface.
