The Letter D.

DUN / Catalogue / 01.10.2005

The artist Richard Dunlop was putting together a monograph of his work from 1995 and asked The Letter D to create a grand showcase to display his predominately square art.

The book’s text sections were concealed inside the cover folds so that the art could take pride of place as the reader flicked through the pages.

MAC / Pentas Island Identity / 08.08.2005

Bribie Gardens was releasing its last remaining canal blocks, on their own island and needed a name and entrance statement to set the overall tone.

As the marketing was low-key, the idea was to take the name of the entry road, Pentas Drive, for both its sound and ease of integration into postal and Council maintenance requirements.

The five petalled Pentas flower was illustrated as a supporting graphic and positioned on one of two block walls, creating a grand statement on either side of the entrance onto the island.

TLD / Font Slabamond 2002 / 01.01.2005

This font was created alongside the Victoria Bridge project as a fusion between the classical serif of yesteryear and the slab serif grunt of construction.

Based on Adobe Garamond, each letter’s serif was manipulated to create a more structured face that would portray the historical construction of one of Australia’s six swing bridges.
