The Typefaces
Faces in Type
Challenge
Somewhere between the world of being a dad, and being a designer, I had an idea on the train. Could it be a kids' book or a design book? And how on earth do we make it happen?

Solution
For the designer in every child and the child in every designer. The typefaces are simply, faces in type. Some people have suggested they encourage us to look at old things in new ways.
Results
Published by Victionary and available in bookshops and on Amazon. The Typefaces inspired exhibitions, talks, and an invitation to Apple.

London Exhibition
From a child's perspective, The Typefaces are simply, faces in type. From the designer's viewpoint, the idea reimagines letterforms that are hundreds of years old to breathe new life into them. 
Hand-printed numbered editions
​​​​​​​Inspired by letterpress printing and playful observations, they were born in a sketchpad, grew up in a book, and can now be found wandering the streets, climbing the walls, tweeting their mouths off, and spending all their time on the 'gram.
