I spent some time this morning refreshing the Chazen Museum of Art landing page. When designing for cultural institutions, the challenge is balancing utility (tickets/hours) with inspiration (art/history).

Here is a breakdown of the visual system:

Icon Set: Custom abstract glyphs that reference primitive etchings to bridge the gap between the ancient collection and the modern web.

Typography: A high-contrast serif pairing that prioritizes readability without losing sophistication.

Visual Rhythm: An immersive hero loop that sets a slow, deliberate pace for the user.
