A typeface traced back to Wright's own typewriter correspondence
Brooklyn studio Order developed a new visual identity for the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, taking Wright's iconic red square as the point of departure and expanding it into a comprehensive system. Order selected Optimo's Reply, designed by François Rappo, as the identity's primary typeface. Rappo's design drew on Wright's personal correspondence typed in a typewriter version of Vogue Intertype, which Rappo encountered during research into American ephemera from the 1950s. Optimo customised Reply with alternate characters and renamed it FLW Reply for the project.
