Likely the Most Traditional

and Distinguished Signs of London.

Firstly I think making these great Vintage letters of ours, is just down to a lifelong passion for paint since the age of about three.

But more than that is realising I am very lucky to be an artist with portrait skills, and a lettering master with fine finishing and control.

And that’s great… just that left at that.

But it wasn’t left at that.

Seraina is the S NGS who joined in 2018. She has all the talent, flair and precision skills with the addition of the hard-core, stable, technical knowledge from earlier screen printing apprenticeship in Switzerland – a rigorous training that always shines through.

So we responded to client demand and have combined our passion for deep tradition, with that all-important diamond-like veneer of modern tech and styling as illustrated in the Penhaligon panel below.

It’s worked seamlessly and developed an even keener execution and eye for detail.

There’s a lot more to this Roman based story and it’s forming up a studio bench-top publication – publishing in Autumn 2023.

Allowing all things to give rise to good and perfection is close behind.

The ‘go-to’ home of Classical painted letters. NGS.

Perfection is doing all the small things really well.

Serifs can be seen as early as 500bc and in their primal form, in Egyptian hieroglyphics.

About NGS, Gallery, History

Becoming an artist…. it takes a few essential turns.

Firstly as a child I watched my Grandfather carve his London Romans.

Then one day, when I was 15, I found myself working as a tea boy in an antique store, Signwriting true retro vintage letter – it was like a new world found me.

Roman Capitals naturally.
