Here’s a peek at some of the more type-heavy surfaces. As the institutional voice, Fairmount Serif helps to anchor a rich, ever-expanding palette of existing vernacular typefaces.

Fairmount Serif originated from a deep dive into Philadelphian typographic history. In a search for type references that balanced the industrial quality of American sans-serifs in the 1930s with a classical sensibility, Hess Neobold came to the forefront. Its designer, Sol Hess, had attended PMSIA—the school that eventually evolved into the museum itself—and later succeeded Frederic Goudy as art director of Lanston Monotype, based nearby in Philadelphia. We incorporated formal cues from this typeface’s contemporaries and created a type family that reflects both Philadelphia’s character and the classical spirit of the museum’s architecture and collection.

I collaborated with @gretelnyc on the core custom typeface for @philamuseum, Fairmount Serif, named after its beloved neighborhood. The typeface was inspired by American type from the 1930s, and it has a strong kinship to Philadelphia in particular, which I’m excited to dive into here soon.

The typeface for the New York Botanical Garden serves both as the foundation of their logo and as their primary typeface. The New York aspect is represented by its boldness and a nod to Serif Gothic. The organically lush aspect is conveyed through succulent-like serifs, leaf-like counterforms, and vine-like strokes. The result is aptly named “NY Botanical Gothic.”
