The New Orleans Collection takes its lettering from a 19th-century Sanborn fire insurance map. Created to document the built environment—including whether buildings were constructed of brick or wood—these maps recorded American cities in remarkable detail.

The lettering varied from city to city, but New Orleans’s typeface is especially distinctive. Bold and lyrical, its sweeping forms echo the movement and character of the city. Reimagined in metal, the design becomes a striking expression of connection to New Orleans.
