The Brooklyn typeface started its life in an architectural model In April 2007, I got a call from a favourite client, Michael Bierut at Pentagram in Manhattan, asking if I could come in to talk about a project for a new architectural development. It turned out to be the Atlantic Yards project, a massive undertaking involving a sports arena, an office block, and hundreds of housing units, all designed by the great Canadian-American architect, Frank Gehry. I was shown photos of the model for the project which included a wonderfully twisty and turny tower, a stack-ofblocks block-of-flats, and an arena which looked as though it was to be covered with blue metal post-it notes. While I couldn’t take the photos with me, I kept the images in my head, and made sketches for a type system to match the sprawling architectural plan, with angular sans, serif, slab, and octagonal variants. I built a rough grid of 8 type masters, which were manipulated in Superpolator to create a huge number of stylistic and weight variants. We decided that the first sub-family to be developed would be the Sport variant, an octagonal sans which would be used specifically in the sports arena. The skeleton of the letterforms was made up of horizontal, vertical, and 45-degree diagonal lines, with just a few other ‘support’ angles woven throughout, to take the fonts away from a strict ‘constructed’ appearance. I worked out a light and heavy master, with intermediate instances rough-generated and corrected.

We thought a Stencil would come in handy, considering the type’s inteded use in signage, and stylistically, it looked pretty great, while echoing some of Gehry’s architectural details. The font families were delivered as Brooklyn Sport and Brooklyn Sport Stencil in December 2007. In March 2008, the construction of all but the sports arena was delayed until the slowing economy picked up. In June 2009, Frank Gehry left the project and a new arena was designed by SHoP Architects on a plan by Ellerbe Becket. The one thing that didn’t change? The Brooklyn Sport typeface. After a few years of exclusivity, we now have the rights to release Brooklyn. I set about tidying up the design, perfecting the angles and stroke weights, and designing new versions of several letters, to differentiate Brooklyn from its precursor. We’re happy to finally make Brooklyn available for wide use after such a lengthy and interesting journey through the machinations of New York City real estate and civic politics.
