BIPOC Design History is an educational platform facilitated by Polymode:

Our goal is to create a radical educational experience that revisits and rewrites the course of design history in a way that centers previously marginalized designers, cultural figures—and particularly BIPOC and QTPOC people. Through live and pre-recorded lectures, our classes shed light on moments of oppression and visibility.

As an extension of Polymode’s studio, the platform is branded with the Polymode typeface in the Attitude style, a sans with nuanced flair that is still quiet enough to pair with other typography used for each course’s imagery. HB Lossy is used for course titles. Its soft serifs and monospace rhythm contrast Polymode, creating emphasis that highlights headlines and makes it easy for site visitors to identify courses.
