Notes:
- Jane Davis Doggett is a Yale graduate of both graphic design and architecture who was interested in using design to create a new and accessible environment.
- Her book, "Talking Graphics" features geometric design, wayfinding, etc.
- Doggett did these things during the 50's and 60's, an era that had many limitations for women in both the aviation and design field. She integrated graphic design with architecture to move people through over 40 airports and other major institutions such as Madison Square Garden. https://www.tampabay.com/life-culture/2023/04/16/pioneer-jane-davis-doggett-made-tampa-international-airport-easy-use/
- Her first job out of Yale University came from a former classmate who was working on an airport in Tennessee. It was at this time that she created the sans-serif typeface, "Alphabet A" that could be easily read from a long distance. At this time each airport had their own logos and their own typefaces; Doggett proposed a universal/common typeface with logos and branding behind the ticket counter.
