Modular Concrete Typography by David McGillivray
This “heavy” and gorgeous modular typeface is the work David McGillivray who designed and photographed the whole alphabet using only 7 shapes for a total of 14 blocks of concrete.
McGillivray says: “Inspired by the Brutalist architecture of London, the Hayward gallery in particular, this is an exploration of typography and architecture; a non commercial project where I endeavoured to merge the two worlds with a pre fab style kit of conrete shapes that come together to make a concrete typeface. The whole alphabet can be created using 7 shapes, which I cast into 14 blocks of concrete in total. Nothing has been added to the images; it’s all real concrete.”
