Walked past the London Fire Brigade near Old Street today. A reminder that life isn’t just about building for yourself - it’s about running towards situations where others need help. Community is built by the people who choose courage over comfort. 🔥 #londonfirebrigade #londonfirefighters #oldstreet

We worked with @thefoundrytypes on their new Foundry Æterna typeface specimen, we took some photos, created some animations, and then made the 96pp book. Love a bit of type.
