Typography and publication design are central to my practice. The themes I explore within these vary between projects. I have noticed that throughout my work this year, I have been interested in creating unlikely connections and juxtapositions. ‘Logie’ is a typographic exploration of ‘Logie Old Kirkyard’. The resultant uppercase typeface blends different moments in time through combining opposing historical styles to celebrate the evolving vernacular of letter-cutting in Logie. ‘Bits’, an identity project for a collectivist natural wine bar and bottle-shop, challenges hierarchies through a rejection of ornamentation and unlikely connections within its functioning. The design fosters connections between guests by encouraging them to physically alter menus for future visitors to use.
