  Alex MonroeA selection of work from my time as the first, and sole in-house designer at Alex Monroe. Over the course of 3-4 years I developed and established the current brand visual language, and sought to convey a friendly but confident tone of voice which champions the brand’s love of nature and craftsmanship.
• Daily GlyphsDaily Glyphs was a pictographic response to our time in lockdown, a meditation on the “new normal” and a tool for communicating without words. This project was born out of a fascination with signs, and the power that pictures have to capture meanings. I’d hope for these icons to achieve / reflect that and also to offer a respite from the experience of lockdown. A starting set of 28 icons was drawn and a website was coded to showcase the set and allow for it to be downloaded.
• Modular 1Modular 1 is a type family with five weight options. it takes inspiration from the gridnick tradition, but adds a variable twist transforming from the transparent to the opaque.
