Projects
  • Barnet Sans Typeface
    Barnet Sans TypefaceBarnet Sans is a humanist typeface with a grotesque-inspired personality. Lively stroke-endings of several characters give this design its distinctive style, as well as a friendly and approachable presence. Created for use in both print and screen settings, Barnet Sans delivers a hint of flavour in large sizes, while being subdued enough to work in smaller text-driven settings. Details include; seven weights ranging from thin to black with matching italics, 665 characters per font, and support

    Type Design InternDalton Maag
     - London, United KingdomInternship
    I spent two months expanding my knowledge of type design and font engineering at the Dalton Maag Studio in Brixton. The internship lasted 8 weeks with different tasks to tackle in each. It started with basic calligraphy of a few different styles and hand-drawing classic typefaces to great detail. Week three, I began a new design of a new typeface of my choice. I decided to explore something of the Clarendon genre but with a modern take. Using FontLab5, the following six weeks included: drawing an ‘ideation’ glyph set (which included lots of testing, printing, checking); expanding ideation set after approval; drawing extreme weights; interpolating between extremes and weight planning; drawing an ideation set f italics and interpolating between extreme weights to match weight of romans.
