The Foundry, an urban arts and culture institution, required a dynamic yet grounded identity to appeal to diverse audiences. The challenge was fusing a sense of history with contemporary relevance.

We designed a bold, flexible identity system centered around a powerful typographic mark and a rich, cultural color palette. Our work extended to creating a comprehensive digital platform for exhibition listings and archival content.

The final identity honors the institution's commitment to craft and cultural dialogue, providing a unified visual voice that is both accessible and deeply resonant within the art community.
