This project imagines a fictional exhibition at MassArt titled A Type of Drawing, which delves into how Cyrus Highsmith's drawings influence his type design work. Cyrus is a local typographer, educator at RISD, and the founder of Occupant Fonts. This exhibition celebrates his unique approach to creating letterforms, as Highsmith sketches daily, with more than 100 filled sketchbooks to his name.

Type Designer Exhibition

An artist book, available for sale at the show, is designed to make you feel as though you're flipping through one of his personal sketchbooks. Throughout the pages, quotes pulse with insights into his thinking and design process, giving a glimpse into his creative journey. Playful typography and collage-like treatments span across the spreads, adding dynamic energy to the work.
