Huyton Ladies Darts Club

  • Georgia Bolton

In the late 70s, Huyton Ladies Darts Club was a thriving part of this small Liverpudlian town’s community. Shapes from their collection of trophies were used to create a collection of exuberant letterforms that celebrate and immortalise this forgotten female collective. The hyper-masculine visuals surrounding darts championships aren't inclusive of the sports’ female powerhouses. In reaction to this, I created a decorative, header typeface combining the illustrative styles seen in seventies custom typefaces like those of Herb Lubalin, with an off-kilter rigidity representative of the team's flair.
