Launch of a new typeface for Bristol

Inbetween tshirts and art prints uchi has been knee deep in various other activities. One of the most recent is the development of a brand new typeface called Bristol Bell.


A display font based on the Didone/Transitional style. With reduced contrast between thick and thin strokes and bracketed serifs it's an ideal typeface for display purposes.
A work in progress....



The font was commissioned by Fruitsalad Photographic Co to headline a new collection of travel posters for Bristol. The font had to "describe Bristol's historical, industrial and artistic nature whilst remaining elegant and robust".



These stunning A2 posters depict unique views of Bristol seen through the lens of the FruitSalad Photographic Co. ..

"For example, "Brunel's achievements of engineering excellence, the SS Great Britain and Clifton Suspension Bridge. The posters celebrate the life of John Cabot depicting the city's homage to this great Mariner. The other great personality covered and commerated is Bristol's famous son, Hollywood actor Cary Grant."
