Information
Brick's roots are grounded in the signage of three iconic pubs situated in London's East End: The Jolly Butchers (Brick Lane – now closed), The Royal Oak (Columbia Road), and The Prince Albert (Acton Street). Drawing inspiration from their Art Deco attributes, with a touch of Art Nouveau lineage, Brick serves as a reinterpretation and extension of the elegant gestures found in the vernaculars, brought seamlessly into the contemporary era.
Fermin first encountered the original sign on Brick Lane during a visit to London in 2015 while studying Typeface Design in Reading. However, the overall forms and idea for the design started materializing several years later.
Brick is currently available in five weights (ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, Black) and two optical sizes (Text and Display). This type family offers an extensive array of OpenType features, Stylistic Sets and Alternative Shapes, that capture the distinct personality of the Truman Brewery.
