Shenandoah
Terminal Design · James Montalbano
A rustic signage sans based on wood-routed letters found on signs at Shenandoah National Park, licensed by the National Park Service for use on site.
About
Shenandoah reproduces wood-routed lettering Montalbano found on signs across Shenandoah National Park, sent to him by colleagues at Meeker & Associates. The uppercase came straight from the reference photographs; the lowercase needed extra design work to match. Montalbano finished the project in about a week, and the National Park Service has since licensed it for use in the park.
Classification
Based on wood-routed letters used on signs in Shenandoah National Park, drawn from reference photographs; the uppercase came straight from the reference, with the lowercase drawn separately by Montalbano. The foundry page does not spell out serif or sans terms explicitly; kept as sans per the original brief, consistent with typical routed park-signage lettering.
