Visual Identity
Gordon Parks in Pittsburgh, 1944/1946 is an exhibition showcasing Parks’s photographs of the Penola, Inc. grease plant in Pittsburgh and its workers, who produced essential goods for US troops during World War II.
For the exhibition’s visual identity, I used Bayard, a sans-serif typeface inspired by signage from the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The typeface was designed by Vocal Type, a diversity-driven font foundry founded in 2016 by Tré Seals.
