One particular piece of important reference came in the form of a 24 page promotional booklet made for the first major addition and update to the Royal York Hotel in 1957, offering an unparalleled insight into the colour palette, textures, and even the lighting choices and furniture as they actually were. Even though promotional materials like flyers and booklets are easily saved artifacts, as far as anyone could tell between the Canadian Pacific Railway Archives and the private collection of the Royal York, this book was the only known available copy: So, ERA Architects was asked to make a faithful replica and to produce a limited edition run in honour of the hotel’s grand history. (Specs: 12”×8”, 24pages, saddle stitched, 6-colour, including special die-cut and newly made multi-level embossing plate). Supplemental historical research: ERA Architects and Carl Shura; Design, image scans & colour-correction, digital typesetting, recreated graphics & hand-lettering, and digital pre-press produciton: Carl Shura. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6355c1d501c557236d46688a/97f97401-3969-4b8a-854a-640dc206ba68/Portfolio_CarlShura_20216.jpg Lexington Full recreation of historically significant marketing brochure: Royal York (Canadian Pacific), 1957. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6355c1d501c557236d46688a/1782350060294-Q4ZKYYRSFBZ7MGOPSZ53/One%2BHerd-specimen.png Lexington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6355c1d501c557236d46688a/fa679b7f-6d69-4a7e-8c66-e68a9553ab80/Portfolio_CarlShura_202113.jpg Lexington Carved stone wall, UofT, Simcoe Hall: FUGUE custom font. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6355c1d501c557236d46688a/26fae1a3-66af-432e-a3a3-297e2bbece84/Portfolio_CarlShura_202114.jpg Lexington FUGUE font revival derived from Roman Capitals in Pacioli's De Divina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6355c1d501c557236d46688a/b16c582a-4023-4a37-b7d5-ee83cfc3732b/Portfolio_CarlShura_2021.jpg Lexington The Department of Bears: tote bag. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6355c1d501c557236d46688a/0d202c1d-a604-4015-8cbd-f8f19ac62ede/Portfolio_CarlShura_20212.jpg Lexington The Department of Bears: sweatshirt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6355c1d501c557236d46688a/1667698831204-GB9DX4IGY0PTGHQWWY0B/Portfolio_CarlShura_202117.jpg Lexington Custom redrawn letters from archival research. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6355c1d501c557236d46688a/1713974860960-O9F2HTEFTUIQ6B4OPF4D/20161029_122814.jpg Lexington Pinned letters installed at 234 Bay Street, historic Toronto Stock Exchange.
