About

PARANOIA SANS is a self-censoring, conspiratorial typeface that will automatically redact terms that are popular in conspiracy myths.

It IS a conspiracy. They ARE after you. And now, you have a typeface to prove it.

How it works

PARANOIA SANS uses ligatures (an open type font feature that replaces a combination of strings with other characters) to replace a list of conspiratorial terms with a graphic resembling a redacted word. E.g. the ligature "5G" is replaced by a two-character wide black box.
