Final Major project - Artist Research: Alex Hunting

Alex Hunting Studio is an award-winning creative agency. Located in London but with a global client list, they deliver creative consultancy, art direction, editorial direction and content for cultural institutions, luxury, lifestyle and media brands. They create editorially driven design solutions across print and digital media—from visual identities and campaigns, to publications, moving image and websites.

I chose to have a look at Alex Hunting Studio due to their creation of custom letterforms for clients.

Project: Max Richter

This project is the creative direction of composer Max Richter's latest release SLEEP: Tranquility Base.

Within this project Alex Hunting Studio developed a typeface that they named Richter Sans. This started off as a  customised version of the typeface ‘Lateral’ by Schick Toikka.

The typeface offers not only a perfect insight into the expertise of Richter’s artistry but provides a powerful tension of faculty and form against the visual’s tactile fluidity. Its earnest, unpretentious and unobtrusive design allows both Max’s melodies and the corresponding spectacle to thrive whilst staying true to the artist’s love of post-war modernist aesthetics. 

Project: Kinfolk

This project is the design direction for the world’s most influential lifestyle magazine Kinfolk.

Within this project Alex Hunting Studio, to celebrate Kinfolk’s 10 year anniversary, delivered a brand new redesign in the Summer of 2021. They overhauled the entire magazine, introducing a new grid, paper stocks, logo, and custom typefaces.

With the custom typefaces Kinfolk worked with type foundry Schick Toikka. The custom type family consists of 6 different styles, a Serif and a Sans counterpart with matching italics. The Sans and the Serif fonts share the same vertical dimensions and similar overall proportions, so they can be mixed together harmoniously. The Serif version of the fonts feature a Text style, designed specifically for body copy, captions and small headlines, and a Display style with higher contrast and slightly lighter weight intended for bigger point sizes. The display version also features set of cap ligatures. Together the fonts create a compact but versatile palette that serves all the typographic needs of the magazine, from impressive headlines to longer articles.

Created back in 2019, when I was still a student at the University of the Arts in London. It is a prototype of the concrete magnet for the Southbank Centre in London. Been also experimenting with shades of the concrete. The top part represents the roofline of (from left to right): the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Royal Festival Hall and the Hayward Gallery - which all are parts of the Southbank Centre. The "Southbank Centre" logotype is in Noe Display font by Schick Toikka, customised by North Design for the Southbank Centre. design: Peter Baran author: @regularconcrete (at Southbank Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiIGkmoI5Rz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Posters and identity by @_tsto for @flowfestivalhelsinki Old but pure gold and full on type! - "In 2018, Tsto returned to design the Flow Festival visual identity once again with the “Flow Font” as its base. The backbone of the typographic system direly needed a refresh after 7 years of extensive use. Tsto redrew the original “Flow Font” to be a bit thicker and bolder for large scale “Poster” purposes and commissioned Schick Toikka to draw a set of 3 typefaces based on the proportions of the old “Flow Font”. The new type system also included a set of ornamental “Dingbat” symbols. These “meaningless characters” were used to create interesting type patterns around the text elements. The dingbats operated inside the typographic layout, repeating in the lines as text elements, but also escaped the lines to float around as large colourful ornaments. - Flow "Dingbats" by @schicktoikka and @_tsto - Photos by : Mona Salminen Konstantin Kondrukhov Petri Anttila Samuli Pentti - Tag and use #typosters to be featured.

Yearbook of Type III

The Yearbook of Type presents an independent selection of new digital typefaces created all over the world—from larger publishers to smaller, independent typographers and foundries.

The comprehensive compendium presents a well curated overview that gives an impression of the typeface and its appearance on paper. The emotional and well constructed informative presentation of the typefaces serves designers and agencies as a source of inspiration and help select the right typeface. As a catalog and reference work it is also of interest to all those who are interested in the contemporary world of typesetting and the latest in typeface design.

A small online microsite (www.yearbookoftype.com) leads to the type’s or foundry’s website, to simplify the connection between print and web and to help the user to select, try, or buy a typeface.

The shape and angle of these pyramids stayed the same as in real building. The “H” letter, which stands for Hayward Gallery, is in Noe Display font by Schick Toikka, customised by North Design for the Southbank Centre. design: Peter Baran author: @regularconcrete (at Hayward Gallery at Southbank Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgYyk7cKioO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
