Lettering  Logo
We were approached by the creative team at MCM to redesign their iconic logo. The new logotype redesign is based on Genzsh & Heyse’s 1888 Römische Antiqua, a predecessor to the American DeVinne types. Römische is one of the archetypal 19th’s century German printing types. It exudes the seriousness of a Scotch Roman while concurrently balancing the quirks of the grotesques of the period. The final logo was reworked into 4 versions, 2 optical sizes each with a lighter “grade” to work on dark backgrounds.

ToolingIn late 2024, Kai Bernau brought me on to the project, in the hopes that I could develop a RoboFont tool to visualize a Noordzij-ian method of drawing inside the glyph editor.

The tool is based around StrokeFlattener, a custom implimentation of both the FlattenPen and SamplingPen functionailties. Supplying the pen with a dictionary of indexes and point counts as `approximateSegmentLength`, it will sample the contour but if you give it an integer it will calculate the distance to subdivide the contour. 


Research for Beyond Bézier was carried out by Matthieu Cortat-Roller, Alice Savoie, Kai Bernau, Radim Peško, Micha Wasem and Florence Yerly. The project started in September 2023 and was completed in May 2025.

Typeface

Greenstone is a display-oriented serif that hones in the expressive vernacular of Ogg’s mid-century book jacket lettering and the engravings found on epitaphs throughout New England. The typeface combines the precise, controlled construction of these ink and stone letterforms with an unexpected dramatic flair. The result is a digital homage to sacred traditions of hand lettering, erudite and exploratory in equal measure.

Garnett2016–2018Self InitiatedTypefaceGarnett’s forms are derived from the early grotesques of 19th-century Britain, with particular influence drawn from the work of
the Stephenson Blake, Caslon, Miller & Richard, and Vincent Figgins’ foundries.
Garnett’s forms lend themselves to the ideas of a utilitarian design aesthetic while
concurrently keeping the flavor and quirkiness of the exemplars.

Sundown Town2019Alexander HarrisonLetteringThe logo was drawn for the painter Alexander Harrison’s first solo art exhibition.
Harrison’s body of work surrounds the ideas and themes of growing up a Black
man in the South. We decided to base the lettering for the show, on the cover of
Booker T. Washington’s A New Negro for a New Century.
