Mary Higgins: A Typographic Tribute to a Legacy at Emerson College

Editorial Illustration
Written By Charis Tsevis

For Expression magazine, the alumni publication of Emerson College, I was commissioned to create a typographic portrait celebrating Mary Higgins’ remarkable 22-year career in the College’s Office of Government and Community Relations, before her retirement in September. This portrait is crafted entirely from serif characters from the PF Din Serif typeface, designed by Panos Vassiliou, one of my all-time favorite fonts. The illustration reflects the depth and significance of Mary Higgins' legacy at Emerson, using typography to tell a visual story of her career and contributions to the College.
