Getting back to ABC’s

I was thrilled when Monos asked me to help design a custom alphabet for their accessories collection. It was so fun to get back to exploring letterforms and doing a full custom typeface. For this we cast the net wide in the exploration stage playing with form and colour and settled on a really classic design with dimensionality and detail to make it interesting. You can find them here!

How does a custom alphabet get made?

  1. Moodboarding to define a style/feel.

  2. Trying out different directions.

  3. Playing with colour!
