Rooted in Structure

Our typographic approach surrounds our custom brand typeface, MSG Display, and is paired with a round geometric sans-serif font for written communication. It brings personality and consistency.

Custom Display Type

Inspired by architectural curvature, our typeface is MSG Display is a customized version of Ray Larabie’s Coolvetica — a 1970s display lettering look with really tight kerning and funky curls. The subtle serif details reinforce the concept up close, but the type remains highly legible from a distance and simplified for clarity in motion.
