The custom typeface for the exhibition draws inspiration from the structural design of the punch cards utilized in IBM Punch Card Accounting Machines, as depicted below. This typeface has been meticulously crafted for application on a larger scale, ranging from the title wall to the exhibition label titles.

Secret Cities explores the innovative design of Oak Ridge, Hanford, and Los Alamos, tracing their architectural origins to the Bauhaus and other early modern schools. The exhibition reveals how their physical layouts influenced daily life and exposes persistent social stratification and segregation, despite initial high-minded ideals.
The exhibit also examines each city's post-Manhattan Project development, emphasizing their ongoing importance as research and technology centers, now primarily non-military in nature.
