Gallery Typeface
2012. Patrick Bell Design for the American Museum of Natural History
This typeface was commissioned by AMNH to fabricate metal lettering in the museum's newly renovated Hall of North American Mammals. The uppercase letterforms were inspired by a variety of early-20th-century all-capital metal letterforms in the old hall. Lowercase letterforms were newly designed to complement the uppercase.
