International typography project, by Craig Black and Nicole Phillips

Nicole had seen Craig's beautiful lettering online and was immediately drawn to his craftsmanship and skill. Craig Black — a typographer and designer, based in Glasgow — demonstrates expert appreciation for positive and negative space in his work. High contrast, killer curves, and big impact are all hallmarks of Craigs style. Nicole Phillips — a kiwi typographer, living in Australia — loves to work analogue in pencil or ink. She honors process over product, and built her business model around a practice of creative play. Nicole has always had a philosophy of working in collaboration not opposition with her peers, actively championing the work of other typographers she admires. After corresponding back and forth on social channels, a friendship between these two type enthusiasts grew - and a collaborative process was the natural next step.

Craig Black, a typographer and designer based in Glasgow, has collaborated with Australia based typographer Nicole Phillips to produce a project that combines lettering with letterpress.

The two did much of their collaboration over the internet due to their locations.

Their finished work aims to illustrate the power of collaboration, particularly in the digital age.
