Museums of History NSW visual identity
NN Nouvelle Grotesk is the brand typeface for the Museums of History NSW. From the brand presentation on Behance:
Museums of History NSW (MHNSW) is a new cultural institution comprising the former Sydney Living Museums, the NSW State Archives and the Government Records Repository. Home to one of the most extensive archival collections in the world, as well as the conservation, management and visitation experiences across 12 historic houses, gardens and museums, MHNSW is the primary custodian and advocate of NSW’s history.

The launch of the brand also coincided with the launch of MHNSW’s first campaign: ‘History, Not As You Know It’.
