Route 66: The Road and the Romance Exhibition

Brief
Create a typographic language and environment that is evocative of a Route 66 roadtrip through space and time in a 5,600’2 gallery.

Solution
Using inspiration from the road and vernacular signage I customized typefaces and included iconography to be reminiscent of ephemera and road signage found along the route past and present.
