Regards

Sometimes typefaces start to mature and develop with us. In 2013, on my return from London, having been hugely impressed by the work of Edward Johnston and Eric Gill, I designed the typeface Picadilly – which was to be a kind of postcard with an afterimage record. Pretty soon some things started to bother me about it, a version appeared, new, Neue, next, 2.0…. Over these 10 years I have often returned to the form of letters we know so well from the London Underground and decided to explore it again. This time the changes have gone so far that even the name has also changed…. Regards is a kind of homage to the aesthetics of the streets of London, in which the works of the greatest masters of typography are interwoven alongside neo-Gothic architecture or Brutalist insets. The whole family has a sharp character with humanistic detail – and is accompanied by a many alternative versions of the each glyph allowing for visual experimentation. Under the creative direction of Mateusz Machalski also participated in the project: Małgorzata Bartosik, Weronika Kanigowska, Borys Kosmynka.
