Type Type Type.

Type Brief, thinking about this part of the brief - Consider who it's for, where it will appear, and what its' purpose is. Make sure it is appropriate for the audience it is intended for, I looked into typefaces for specific purpose, designed for a message. 

^^^ This Grab Hand rail typeface came from studying stencil letters which latter developed into 3 dimensional, keeping the typical breaks in the letters forms which regularly occurs in stencil lettering. The handrails were then used for bathrooms and swimming pools, I found this idea refreshing and original as it also became interactive with it's intended audience.    

Anthology - Collecting Flowers, 2006 
By Oslo Architects Association 
This typeface was created for the purpose of a one-off poster subtitled - ' An Anthology of architecture and art' 
At first I was unsure if this was an effective type as I'm not sure if the straight, defined harsh lines went with the untouched natural feel of the rest of the letters, but I feel this compliments and defines each individual letter  and makes it eligible.
