LDN Northbank

LDN Northbank is a hybrid single weight slab serif designed by Paul Harpin, one of two interlinked Egyptian style typefaces inspired by Festival of Britain era London.

 

Northbank is the art school cousin to the more traditional LDN Southbank, sharing the same typographic skeleton but featuring higher contrast strokes and diametrically opposing counters.

LDN Northbank

Paul was influenced by his research into the many brilliant graphic designers studying at London’s Royal College of Art in the early 1950s; mid-century modernism with a twist.
