Client: HASBRO (Europe)

This alphabet developed by accident. After a request to draw a logo from a few rough letters supplied, David drew a full alphabet for his own personal use which he thought may come in handy. Sometime later his client asked to use this alphabet to be translated into several extra languages for more logos.

Client: TURNER DUCKWORTH (London)

David’s Client originally wanted to use a similar font so correctly asked the original font creator to redraw it to new proportions, weights and character changes, but was refused, the client then requested David to redraw it with no infringement of copyright. This he did, and was then asked to redraw it in nineteen languages, including both Russian and Greek Cyrillics and one version in South Korean, with each font in two weights.

Client: GOLD GREENLEES TROTT

From the five very rough characters supplied to him, David’s project was to produce a logo and an alphabet in both upper and lower case numerals with all puctuation and diacritics for Cadbury’s Wispa, this was in 1981. The product was discontinued some years later and such was the demand for this chocolate bar that the re-introduction was initiated in 2008 and the luxury Wispa Gold version in 2011, again using the original style which has become the iconic Wispa logo.

Client: PARKER WILLIAMS
