II Balfron
Inspired by Ernö Goldfinger’s east London tower block of the same name, II Balfron is an imposing, all caps, one-weight typeface.
Set within a rigid structural grid, the unexpected angles embody the brutal principles of the original concrete profile.
Much like Goldfinger’s utopian housing ideals, the font is best viewed at large scale.
Concrete to Character
A look behind the making of II Balfron — tracing architectural references, structural grids and the visual language that shaped the typeface.
I’ve been chipping away at this labour of love recently, II Increments Sans. It’s starting to feel about right, then more glyphs, more weights, more styles.

Recently I found these layouts from @huckmagazine that I worked on around 2011-2014. I spent hours working on these and loved it. Typeface is Blender by @binnenland_typefaces .

So pleased with this one and that it’s finished. II Vorkurs digital specimen (1/2) flexing upper and lower cases.
Let me know if you’d like to test it ✌️
