Griffith Observatory, a beloved public landmark in Los Angeles, California, welcomes millions of visitors annually. This rebrand takes inspiration from the observatory’s iconic architecture and its dynamic relationship with light. The main display type is designed based on Futura, customized by blending the dome shapes of the observatory into the letterforms. It is paired with Otto, a serif body type, to preserve its timeless elegance while enhancing its modern appeal. Alongside the type, dome silhouettes with subtle gradients mimic the light hitting the observatory. Together, the designs create a modern identity for the observatory while honoring the heritage and serenity of its architecture.
