Early Days
A book pays homage to Philadelphia’s firefighters

Book
Typeface Design

Early Days is a book highlighting the Philadelphia Fire Department’s remarkable history and heroic firefighters’ stories. A custom typeface for the book captures the unique characteristics of type on original Philadelphia fire badges. The design system is stoic yet unpredictable, contrasting the chaos of firefighting with the quiet strength of the force.
