Knowledge is Power

logo for library

My first thoughts on the typography to go with the Horbury Library logo.

knowledge is power
Iron gates

I couldn’t exactly match the ‘KNOWLEDGE IS POWER’ typeface used in the iron gates of the porch of the library but I thought thats the font Hunter from the font family P22 Arts and Crafts available on Adobe Fonts had the right sort of confident swish about it.

I’d like to incorporate some of the flourishes in the wrought iron, if I can do that without making the logo too fussy.

I like this font, Scotch Display Condensed, Semi-bold (and semi-bold italic for the ‘of’). It’s more readable but slabs of black and the prominent dots over the ‘i’s echo the illustration and the ‘of’ gives a little Arte Nouveau flourish.
