Lippa Pearce at the Typocircle

Lippapearce3

We headed over to the London College of Fashion last night for a Typocircle talk by Domenic Lippa and Harry Pearce, entitled Making Perfect Sense.

It was a sort of retrospective of the work they did while running their studio, Lippa Pearce, which they recently left to go join the gang at Pentagram.

They created some great work at Lippa Pearce, with a sharp focus on typographic work, and often with a strong use of word and language. Our personal favourite though is this Macbeth poster.

And, groovy guys that they are, they gave out little goody bags (below) of their work at the end of the talk, which made for a great read on the tube home.
