Baltimore goes New York as “Alphabet” is set to open at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum October 11th (-27th). “Alphabet” was an exhibition of hand drawn lettering & experimental typography originally created as an installation for Baltimore’s 2006 Artscape and curated in association with Post Typography [which, btw, is an amazing talent of two young Baltimore designers with a client list that already includes the New York Times and Esquire magazine – check out their work online, they’re one to watch!].
