Miquel famille de polices
Homelessfonts is an initiative by the Arrels foundation to support, raise awareness and bring some dignity to the life of homeless people in Barcelona, Spain. Each of the fonts was carefully digitized from the handwriting of different homeless people who agreed to participate in this initiative.
Monotype is pleased to donate all revenue from the sales of Homelessfonts to the Arrels foundation in support of their mission to provide the homeless people in Barcelona with a path to independence with accommodations, food, social and health care.
Miquel Fuster was born and grew up in Barcelona. His golden age as a comic artist goes back to the 60s when he worked for Selecciones Ilustradas. Twenty years later and coinciding with several unfortunate events (a sudden sentimental separation, a fire in his family’s home, the decline of the market for the kind of comics he produced), the street became his home and stayed his home for 15 years. He painted aquarelles with architectural themes of Barcelona, which he sold, to tourists and art dealers. He survived with little money and found solace in alcohol. “I lived exiled within myself, because that person wasn’t me.” When he found out about the Arrels Foundation in 2003, he decided to let himself be helped. After various attempts of going sober, he finally managed to abandon alcohol. He drew and wrote three autobiographical comic books called Miguel, 15 años en la calle (Miguel, 15 years in the street). At the age of 71 he continues to publish work in the 20 Minutos and on his blog. Part of his time is dedicated to giving conferences and other talks where he tells his life story and how easy it can be to fall in the street.
