New York City-based artists — including one of our founding editors Michael Bierut, fashion designer Cynthia Rowley, typographer Tony DiSpigna, street artist Eric Haze, architect Michael Arad, illustrator Izak Zenou and many more — created the original typeface comprised of 45 letters, numbers and symbols. From this typeface, Red Peak Branding created the new Free Arts NYC logo and brand identity.
Can you guess who made each letterform? (A full list is under the alphabet.)
