Shipyard Typeface Specimen Design and Projection – ‘Shipyard’ is a typeface designed and projected by Jay Davison, inspired by the effects of the declining industrial industries and Thatcherism in the North of England.
Made up from a combination of three fonts including Helvetica Bold, Eurostile Bold and Microgramma D Bold Extended, the typeface is a representation of classic ship typography. Using Glyphs to generate extrusions that mimic crane-like structures, Shipyard is a usable and variable typeface.
The final typeface was projected around Newcastle and Middlesbrough to create a type specimen that aimed to evoke response in regards to the declining industrial industries of the North.
