ABOUT

Civis is a typeface created using photographs taken in Corporation Street, Birmingham, by tracing interesting architectural forms. This typeface was used to produce a series of works that explore themes of movement, livelihood, and the aesthetics discovered through the location. Movement along the street is dependent on the citizens passing through it; traversal exists because of people. And there is a lot of traversal all throughout this scene. The relationship mentioned inspired the name Civis, which translates to “citizen” from Latin.
