London Signwriters on the decks.

The Essence

Hand-painted brandsigns, walls + font foundry.

A lot of our most interesting projects come from the London design hub.

Interesting and fun because we are working with pro creatives and it just clicks. The range of designs are always an eye opener – we love it when it means this much.

“ARCHITECTURE OF LETTERS IS THE ART OF ORGANISING CHARACTERS AND SPACE.

IT IS THROUGH FONT CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN THAT IT EXPRESSES ITSELF.”

We Build Fonts.

No Ordinary Type

NGS Custom Font Foundry – These fonts are generally derived from our projects around town. They include visits to beyond Soho, to Seraina’s hometown of Zurich, Venice and Pompeii.

The refinements that happen come about from our drawing passion and attention to what makes really groundbreaking type work. A lot of Eco and very little Ego.
