Elevator
Elevator & Escalator grew from a client commission to replicate existing signage for the renovation of a landmark New York City skyscraper. They take inspiration from prefabricated letterforms of the 1950s, which manufacturers offered in so-called "Block" and "Futura" styles. No one really needs another geometric sans, but Elevator claims its own aesthetic territory in an abundant genre. The optical size axis addresses the specific needs of different type sizes with adjustments to the structure, tapering, and spacing.
