NAIA Headquarters: I graduated from an NAIA...

About the author

I have been wanting to do a photography blog for a while and was really inspired by James Patrick Gibson's New Type York. As I'm really new to working downtown, but I love taking pictures and I really love finding interesting typography.

Kansas City has always been my home and I thought it would be fun to share the typography of the city.

NAIA Headquarters:

I graduated from an NAIA University. It was a great experience and I’ve always liked that the NAIA recognized just how great of a college town Kansas City is, especially for a headquarters. They’ve never left KC for the greener pastures of Indianapolis, but have stuck around. NAIA events are usually much smaller, but they’re always a lot of fun.

As for the type on the logo…I kind of wish the kerning was a little tighter especially around the I. Even so, I’m a big fan of slab serifs and I dig the blocky sturdiness of the letters.
