Castle → Concepts, Objects, Spaces exhibition
The exhibition Castle → Concepts, Objects, Spaces / Grad → Concepti, predmeti, prostori was held at the MAO – Museum of Architecture and Design, located in Ljubljana’s Fužine Castle. The visual design is a collaboration between exhibition and graphic designers Sara and Sara and type designer Alja Herlah.
The design draws inspiration from the versatile and quirky history of the castle over the past 500 years. A defining component of the visuals is the combination of custom type and illustrated icons, which form dynamic textures. Geometric shapes reference items from the museum archive, such as metal fences, glasses, and ceramic cups.
The custom typeface Rozamunda – designed for the exhibition and published by Dotless Type – draws inspiration from a lettering specimen found in the Vintage Alphabets book. Featuring high-contrast letterforms, it questions the role of a castle nowadays, what it means to the surrounding community, and the people who work there. Texts are set in Roman Grotesque by Bureau Brut.
