Type is going old school in Newlyn.
Old School | It was a dark and stormy day on the Midland Highway between Creswick and Daylesford when out of the mist and rain loomed a most extraordinary structure – a towering school sign, gracefully rendered in metal. After nearly causing a highway accident, the roving typo-camera was happily snapping away. Upon closer inspection, a clever typographic architecture becomes apparent such as in the fact that the numeral 4 in the number 453 (the government school number) doubles as a support for the structure (see above). The confidently crafted ‘newlyn’, complete with fluid descenders features a set of elegant flourishes on either side to assist the symmetry of the structure. Like sculpture, this form really needs to be experienced first hand and from all angles. Perhaps a shuttle bus trip is in order.
