Trust the Process: The design journey of  creating Trust, a typeface inspired by lettering  on US coins and the rich history of pre-digital typefaces.

The image is a close-up view of the reverse side of a U.S. coin. The visible part of the coin includes the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" around the top edge. Below the text, the Liberty Bell is prominently featured in the center of the design. Behind the Liberty Bell, there is an impression of the moon with various craters, symbolizing the Apollo 11 mission. The combination of the Liberty Bell and the moon represents the Bicentennial celebration, blending American independence and the space achievement. This coin is likely part of the 1976 Bicentennial series.
