Palisades Parks Conservancy tasked Order with creating a series of icons for Fort Lee Historic Park to illustrate the parks’ features to its many annual visitors.

Developed alongside a comprehensive signage system, the design takes inspiration from the park’s primary typeface, Interstate by Frere-Jones Type. Icons were constructed with legibility in mind, designed to communicate across a range of languages, scales, and applications.

Fort Lee Historic Park is a cliff-top park in Fort Lee, New Jersey, that features scenic overlooks of the George Washington Bridge and the Hudson River, along with a reconstructed 18th-century Revolutionary War encampment. It includes a Visitor Center with exhibits, reconstructed barracks, and batteries, and is situated on 33 acres of land that served as a key defensive position for General Washington’s army in 1776.
