Exploring the impact of typography on the look and feel of a place.

Context

Denver is a city of juxtaposition. The location throws everything into sharp relief; the jagged skyline of the Front Range and the expanse of plains arranged and ever-expanding towards the Eastern Horizon[KM1] [TF2] . The iconic skyline balanced between the two. Even in [KM3] Downtown Denver, there is a mixture of high-rise skyscrapers and the buildings surrounding them, which not only provide a visual contrast against the skyline, but also reveal an exciting mixture of new and old. This juxtaposition contributes to Denver’s incredibly distinct personality.
