Museo Casa Kahlo
2025 Pentagram
TypefaceAbbott Miller and his team at Pentagram tasked me with designing a custom typeface for the Museo Casa Kahlo, based on Frida’s early handwritten notes from 1926.
The typeface attempts to embody the spirit of Frida’s work through a veristile system of OpenType features; swashes, contextual alternates, while balancing the austeer wide letterforms. Although the typeface plays a very small role in the overall branding of the museum, it gives so much character to any text it is set with.
