The exhibition featured seven Vocal Type fonts, each triggered by moments in history reflecting racial, ethnic and gender inequity. The faces are named after a key participant in each event: Harriet (Tubman), Ruby (Bridges), Spike (Lee), Bayard (Rustin), Martin (Luther King Jr.), Marsha (P. Johnson) and Colin (Kaepernick) and VTC Terra which was created especially for the exhibit.
