FatFont is a dedicated typeface for infographics
FatFonts is an information visualisation project by Miguel Nacenta, Uta Hinrichs and Sheelagh Carpendale which aims to visually represent the relative values of numbers.

By building some of the concepts that numbers represent into their visual structure the team hope to eliminate the distance between data and graphical expression.
