Creative agency Mill Co teamed up with Monotype Imaging and tasked a selection of image makers to create artworks using one are all of three Monotype fonts - Akko, Neue Haas Grotesk, and Rotis II. The resulting exhibition runs at the Mill Co Project gallery in East London until November 24 and features work by artists including Kavel Rafferty (above), Adam Smith, Kelly Angood, Lisa Stannard, and Rob Flowers...

Here are a selection of images of works in the show:


Under Milk Wood, by Stewart Scott-Curran of Ony More Never Less, graphic print, £100

Detail of an untitled, two-layer illustrative work by Anne-Kathrin Schubert's and Oliver Harrison. £250

We also really liked this film made for the show, Expanded Font, directed by Mark Jewitt and shot by Paul Lilley. Sound by Bent Ear.

CR in Print

Not getting Creative Review in print too? You're missing out.

In print, Creative Review carries far richer, more in-depth articles than we run here on the blog. This month, for example, we have nine pages on Saul Bass, plus pieces on advertising art buyers, Haddon Sundblom, the illustrator who ensured that Coke will forever be linked with Santa Claus, Postmodernism, Brighton's new football ground and much more. Plus, it's our Photography Annual, which means an additional 85 pages of great images, making our November issue almost 200-pages long, the biggest issue of CR for over 5 years.

If you would like to buy this issue and are based in the UK, you can search for your nearest stockist here. Based outside the UK? Simply call +44(0)207 292 3703 to find your nearest stockist. Better yet, subscribe to CR for a year here and save yourself almost 30% on the printed magazine.
