LOST & FOUNDRY

  • Simon Warden
  • Annie Allen

A collaboration with Fontsmith, and partnered with the House of St Barnabas, a social enterprise and members club in Soho, London, whose aim is to lift people out of homelessness and back into permanent employment. We photographed signage in and around Soho, then after a period of editing the selection, we painstakingly produced 7 bespoke display fonts, re-imaging the entire alphabet sets, sometimes from just a few remaining original characters. The fonts are being sold via fontsmith online, and 100% of proceeds are donated to HOSB to help their good work. Creative Director: Simon Warden
