Typeface for Arnolfini Gallery Exhibition Catalogue
From single-weight exhibition catalogue typeface to an 8-weight family
Recognition was originally designed in 2003 as a single-weight sans-serif typeface for the catalogue accompanying the 'Recognition' exhibition at Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol. It has since been expanded into a type family of 8 weights, each with a corresponding slanted italic style.

Insights
- The design originated from a specific publication purpose — an exhibition catalogue — rather than as a speculative type project.
- Expansion from one weight to eight, each with a corresponding slanted italic, represents a systematic broadening of the original design's scope.
- The italics are described as 'slanted' styles, indicating oblique rather than drawn cursive forms.
