Às an Talamh



(Ahs an Tal-iv), From the Ground, is the result of a conversation with The Flow Country.

A representation of the landscape takes the form of a book, one that faithfully showcases it’s beauty and vast expanse through photography and writing, accompanied by a Gaelic (Gah-lick) translation.

Bespoke typefaces informed by the peat-cutting process were designed; Tusker (Toosh-ker), a single-serif typeface, and Mòine (Moyn-yih), a display typeface.

The book and typefaces aim to preserve the rich history that The Flow Country preserves.

Bound By Stone

In collaboration with Sadarō Seto


An experimental collection of work that
pushes book-making, collaboration and conceptual thinking to the utmost, all held together by a stone - both a physical and conceptual representation of the hidden connection of Contrast between the two of us.

The first book is unconventionally narrow, and only includes our writing, written separately throughout the project but towards the end merged together to form another piece of writing.

The book itself is bound by it’s cover, slits are made on the cover and spreads to interlock similar to Japanese Woodworking.

The second book unlike the first, is unbound, and contains only the visuals created throughout the project.

The third section is of our external collaborations, mine with a landscape, Sadarō with Desiré Nealy. My collaboration takes form in an exploration of diagrammatic mapping of a ruined castle – Slains Castle.

Roy



Meet Roy, Leroy and Elroy’s long lost Slab-Serifed cousin.

Leroy was originally designed by Oscar & Ewan for use on Bonobo’s 2010 record Black Sands.

Roy embraces the quicks of his Sans-Serifed cousin, like the pregnant ‘B’, angled bar on the ‘e’ and short tails on the ‘6’ and ‘9’, while also giving Roy his own personality, such as curvy and overkill ligatures, an extended glyphset and a wardrobe ranging from Hairline to Bold.

the greatest thing since sliced bread*



A love letter – literally and conceptually – to the Printing Press, being one of, if not the most important invention in human history.

The love letter was written with food idioms sprinkled in – being the original starting point for the project – and typeset using Roy Regular and Roy Bold Small Caps at 72pt.

Roy Regular was cut at 72pt for use on Letterpress to fully embody the project’s intention.
