Albia Nova is a bit of a new departure for Greater Albion-an unashamedly futuristic typeface. It was originally developed for a friend of ours-a set designed who needed some lettering on props for a science fiction play-the brief was to evolve conventional letter forms and speculate as to what they may look like in the future. As released Albia Nova is a more refined version of this idea, placing a bit more emphasis on readability (today) over evolution of the letterforms. The result is good for giving design projects a futuristic feel, but also has something of the 1970s and 1980s about it.
Leibix, inspired by a jolly trademark of the past, is a fun family of five typefaces which transcends different eras of the past. It has elements of the 1920s in its design, but is equally at home with projects having a 1970s theme of an up to the minute modern one. Use it for eye catching cartoon captions, in posters of anywhere else a casual impact is required.
Two VERY Advanced Previews

We’ve done some more work on Albia Nova, our futuristic design and something of a new depature for us. We think it’s benefitted substantially from further development, keeping it’s futuristic air but gaining considerably in legibility and useability.

Future Developments

Here are some advanced sketches of future ideas we’re toying with. We’ve provisionally labelled these “Windevere” and “Christmas Snowy Blackletter”. We’re sure you can guess which is which. Windever is inspired by the precise elegant lettering t be found on technical drawings, is intended to be an all-capitals face and has a suggestion of speed and movement about it. Christmas Snowy blackletter [...]
