NYC Parks
According to Wikipedia, the original Parks Commission was formed in 1856 and was responsible only for Central Park. In 1870, its jurisdiction expanded to include all the parks in Manhattan and later in 1934 a unified New York City Parks Department was formed with Robert Moses as the commissioner. Today, NYC Parks maintain more than 1,700 public spaces, including parks, playgrounds, tennis courts, recreation centers, skating rinks, pools, beaches, golf courses, stadiums and much more.
Akkurat
Akkurat is a sans-serif typeface designed by Swiss designer Laurenz Brunner and released through the Lineto type foundry in 2004. According to Lineto type, LL Akkurat is not attempting to be trendy, elegant or fashionable, instead LL Akkurat aspired to embody qualities such as technical precision, down-to-earth robustness, reliability and neutrality, reflecting certain values generally associated with Switzerland.
Over years, Laurenz Brunner has been gradually expanding the font’s range and reach. The original three weights were supplemented with a thin and black weight, and the single monospaced cut has been given a bolder companion and italic counterparts. More importantly, the typeface has been taken to the next level in terms of language support and is now being presented in six entirely new scripts: Cyrillic and Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Devanagari, and Vietnamese. This makes Akkurat a great choice for public projects.
