Circle: A Public Space

A project initiated by the London College of Communication letterpress workshop, who invited past and present students to create an interpretation of a type speciment sheet. The project asked students to select a typeface, research it and produce a piece of work which would allow the resources of the workshop to be displayed.

This is a study based upon the circle, a key element of Futura. During one week of September 2008 I observed and wrote my thoughts on the happenings and surroundings of five public squares in London, with the focal point being the circular section of greenery at its centre. This lead to a 16 page letterpressed book printed in an edition of 125.

This book has been exhibited/sold/bartered at the St. Bride event Letterpress: A Celebration, The Changing Face of Letterpress and Barterama. As well as being featured in the March edition of Creative Review's Monograph.
