Typedesign is one of the few specialists in hand-finished typography – rendering a brand identity in original, real-life, three dimensional figures for use in signage, photography, event stands and any other applications. We can build type from a huge range of materials, such as fabric, metal, ice, jelly, clay, wood – even living plants.

WHY HAND-FINISHED TYPOGRAPHY?

In a digital-first world, brands that seem tangible, three-dimensional and permanent are increasingly rare. Hand-finished typography creates instant classics that stand out from the crowd.

Here are some examples of my work.
