The Willow Pond area, newly added to the North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville, has its own visual system, established by sheets of weathering steel pierced with nature patterns and a distinct typographic palette.

We never expected to see Cortado made into a stencil! Here the designer added bridges for structural integrity, taking great care to respond to the curves and shapes of the brushstrokes. For extended text on a pavilion donor wall, Anita Semi-square casually bridges the gap between the flowing shapes of script type and the cold metal structures.
