Currently re-branding a representational art museum for a school project. Any suggestions on typefaces to look at for the logotype?

The museum is the Frye in Seattle, http://www.fryemuseum.org/

Thanks to anyone willing to help!

Isn’t that Helvetica?

oh sorry, I wasn’t clear. I dont need to know what typeface they’re using.

I was wondering if anyone had any typeface suggestions to look at for branding a representational art museum like the frye.

Hope this clears things up.

FFUnit would work. It has a warmth to it that’s quite appropriate for a museum of representational art.

Given the breadth of the collection and exhibitions, it might be worth looking at the architecture (I only had a limited view on the website admittedly) for inspiration, you could look at
