Typeface Design for Shoah Memorial’s Wall of Names
Production Type designed Memorial, a custom variable typeface for the renovated Wall of Names at Paris' Shoah Memorial, which records 75,568 Jewish deportees from France. The original inscriptions, set in Frutiger 57 Condensed, had accumulated typographical errors and suffered visually from sandblasting on porous Jerusalem limestone. Memorial was engineered to compensate for the stone-cutting process and to activate automatic shaping features when paired with a names-and-dates database covering roughly 80,000 names.
