The Crystal Goblet Typeface

The Crystal Goblet typeface design is based on the 'Golden Section', a grid traditionally used for book design due of its most pleasing proportions. Using the grid as a starting point, type shapes into a new visual form dictated by the new space characteristics and what it allows.

The title of the type is based on the characteristics of the typeface and also refers to a famous essay written by Beatrice Warde in 1956 called "The Crystal Goblet, or Printing Should Be Invisible".

"I love the feeling of being slightly lost" Lettering

A3 poster design in response to the brief set by Dominic Lippa (Pentagram, London)
Designed for Emerge, an exhibition showcasing the best of graphic design graduates, part of London Design Festival, 2011

There is some kind of London chemistry in the air that attracts people to come here... Poster works as a London chemistry table. The decoded sentence is the title of the Typeface. It reads: ''I love the feeling of being slightly lost'', which is the line from the lyrics of a London based music band, St Etienne, from their song (also !) about London.

Detail, poster design, John Lubbock Orchestra

Headline lettering for John Lubbock's Orchestra Classical music event poster.

Cochin typeface, originally designed in 1913, based on Nicolas Cochin’s eighteenth century engravings. I appreciate the characteristics and history that lies behind this expressive font yet it is flamboyant enough to visually bring us back to the current day of 'we want fun' audience.
