Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture centennial
The Schomburg Center is one of the world’s leading cultural institutions devoted to the preservation and study of materials focused on African American, African Diasporic, and African experiences. Its wide-ranging collections illuminate the richness of global Black history, arts, and culture, and continue the tradition of its namesake.
Featuring the Community Gothic typeface by Frere-Jones Type, the design was created by Brooklyn-based Morcos Key, who collaborated with the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture on the celebratory announcement of its centennial. To mark the occasion, a special limited-edition library card was produced featuring artwork by Houston Conwill for the Schomburg’s 100th anniversary.
The Schomburg Center logo is in Mike Abbink’s FF Kievit and the call to action in FF Kievit Slab.
