To support the Day of Mourning, an international day to remember those who died from work-related accidents, the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board of Ontario created Typefaces of the Fallen – a hand-crafted typeface inspired by the likeness of Canadians who died at work. It was used in the Day of Mourning campaign and to create more impactful workplace safety signs. Combining storytelling and craft to memorialize the deceased, it gave workers a powerful reason to rethink workplace safety.
