Knight Foundation

Informed and Engaged Communities

Knight Foundation is a national foundation headquartered in Miami, FL. Their mission is to foster informed and engaged communities, which they believe is essential for a healthy democracy. They invest in journalism, in the arts, and in the success of cities where brothers John S. and James L. Knight once published newspapers. Topos has partnered with Knight since 2014, overseeing the implementation of a rebrand across numerous printed deliverables. We have also spearheaded design on a number of key programming initiatives and arts campaigns, including the annual Knight Arts Challenge, Knight New Work, the Knight Media Forum, the Knight Public Spaces Forum, and the Knight Smart Cities Forum.

Topos Graphics, founded in 2005, is a collaborative design studio with offices in New York and Atlanta. We answer client challenges holistically through multiple means: logo design, branding, motion graphics, print collateral, publications, signage, social media, environmental graphics, and objects. Guided by ideas, we create positive impact with thoughtful and formally precise work.

We previously served as Creative Directors at New York’s Jewish Museum from January 2014 – September 2019 and currently oversee design for all programming initiatives at Miami’s Oolite Arts.

In 2019 we entered into a partnership with the Baltimore- and New York-based design studio Post Typography. In our new partnership, Post Typography principals Bruce Willen and Nolen Strals serve in an advisory role, continuing to work with select clients in collaboration with us, while they still pursue new opportunities independently.
