Introducing Bristol Bell. A display font based on the Didone/Transitional style created by uchi typelabs. With reduced contrast between thick and thin strokes and bracketed serifs it's an ideal typeface for display purposes. Commissioned by FruitSalad Photographic Company to accompany a series of posters of the City of Bristol the font had to invoke an industrial past whilst remaining both elegant and robust. A work in progress but here are the capitals for your enjoyment.
Just in time for Christmas. Nik Ill's brand Love the Leaf has burst open it's online store doors with talent and artistry Limited edition tees and canvases and music !!
Over the weekend I was blessed with a CD of two female emcees/poets called Poetic Pilgrimage. Based in Bristol, the muslim duo reflect their social and cultural surroundings with a refreshment and intelligence I've not heard in while. Freedom Times is an EP that touches upon topics from relationships to oppression. Extremely thought out honest lyrics with deliveries to match over flawless beats and a good mix of tempos ensures I'll be playing this for a long time. Whilst I don't want to single out any track over another, I'm particulary feeling the hard hitting acapella Light of a Million Suns and on the other side of the spectrum the melodic, soulful Sugar Plum and the totally stirring Freedom. Also nice to hear a classic loop on Beginning of the End - takes me back to early Sunz of Man. True jewels Listen to Poetic Pilgrimage here.
