Willow Pond at The North Carolina Arboretum

The Willow Pond area, newly added to the North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville, has its own visual system, established by sheets of weathering steel pierced with nature patterns and a distinct typographic palette.
We never expected to see Cortado made into a stencil! Here the designer added bridges for structural integrity, taking great care to respond to the curves and shapes of the brushstrokes. For extended text on a pavilion donor wall, Anita Semi-square casually bridges the gap between the flowing shapes of script type and the cold metal structures.

Weathering steel is also known by its trademark Corten. Coincidence, or near LTypI?
