Concourse - A typeface by & for the Bronx

This zine was developed as part of the Working Knowledge: Shared Imaginings, New Futures exhibit at the Bronx Museum in New York City. As part of the exhibi_on, we designed a new typeface inspired by the Bronx Museum, its Teen Council members, and the architecture, culture, and community of the Grand Concourse neighborhood of the Bronx. Created in collabora_on with the local community and incorporated into the visual language of Working Knowledge, this work explores how type design can engage and reflect the story of a community and its people. Through research, documenta_on, and design, Concourse aims to capture the spirit and history of the Grand Concourse. We hope that this resource will inspire others to embark on design projects rooted in their own local communi_es.
