RAMAZ SIGNAGE SYSTEM

I was asked to create a dual language signage system for KJ Ramaz, a modern orthodox Jewish elementary school in Manhattan. Thank you to Annie Rolland from FXFowle for taking a chance on me with this one, and to Leo Blackman for introducing us. Yanek Yontef, you were such a mensch! Thank you for your beautiful modern Hebrew fonts, and for our thoughtful conversation about blending them with the English. Signage appears to be so simple, but there’s a lot to it — and it’s worlds away from designing for print. Chris Calori, your book was indispensable. Here are the behind-the-scenes schematic drawings.
