Holbeck

CUSTOM TYPEFACE DESIGN

Holbeck is a display typeface based on 20th century industrial British signage, particularly that found around Leeds and the North of England. Holbeck re-interprets these 19th & 20th century northern industrial ghost signs in a modern context, whilst retaining classic British proportions and the character of ‘The North’. This all caps display face features a standard character set in a single weight, with standard glyphs and numerals.

The Holbeck type specimen consists of lasercut bricks, recontextualising the letters back onto reclaimed bricks to re-introduce the letterforms back into the context they came from.
