The Museum of African Art’s new Manhattan home was designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects with a distinctive window pattern, based on African textiles and domiciles. Working collaboratively with The Original Champions of Design, I drew a custom type family and logotype that carry this graphic element through to the overall design system. See more on OCD’s site.
