Isometric collaborated with The American LGBTQ+ Museum and Lambda Legal to create Queer Justice: 50 Years of Lambda Legal and LGBTQ+ Rights, a traveling exhibition that is touring cultural centers in seven major American cities. The design is rooted in an impassioned aesthetic of picket sign activism and protest, centering the people at the heart of every major queer rights case in U.S. history. We designed a custom typeface, Lambda Sans, based on the headline of a 1970’s flyer by the Gay Activists Alliance. The flyer explains the significance of the lambda symbol to the LGBTQ+ movement, describing it as “an exchange of energy…a peoples’ will aimed at common oppressors.” The typeface adopts the raw, hand-carved aesthetic of the flyer headline, deploying select oblique characters and ligatures that create visual tension and energy in the composition of exhibition section titles.
