MoMa acquires Ma[n]son for its Collection

25/01/2011

The Museum of Modern Art in New York had announced the acquisition of 23 digital typefaces for its collection including our typeface, Mason. Considering MoMA had only one digital typeface in its collection, this is significant recognition for the field of digital typographic design. The typefaces were chosen by a panel of experts, who based their decisions on such criteria as aesthetics, historical relevancy, functionality and social significance. The typefaces will be displayed in the MoMA contemporary design galleries from March 2.

For more information on the acquisition you can read the MoMA press release or this piece in the New York Times by Alice Rawthson.
