Inducted explores the iconography of higher education and its role in telling our national story of student loan debt. The entire body of work was designed using black and off-white colors for their universality and to create a disconcerting connection. Inducted highlights the morally laced publicity that is often associated with acquiring educational debt. 

The typeface in this work began on a typewriter. The letterforms were designed from basic modules to construct each character. Modular typefaces are known for their geometric precision and consistency, and are often used for their minimalist or industrial aesthetic, a tie to uniformity, and a rigid structure. 

This work is based on the structure and system of student loans. Pennants and banners serve as celebratory emblems that question the narrative of higher education as a guaranteed pathway to future success and growth. Questioning the value and burden we place on merit-based achievements, along with the societal pressures associated with educational pursuits.
