The House of St. Barnabas is a not-for-profit Soho member’s club, fighting to end the cycle of homelessness in London. In 2018 they commissioned a unique project, Lost & Foundry, to create a collection of typefaces based on iconic, but rapidly disappearing, signs in Soho.

To promote and celebrate each font, and the unique Soho history behind it, we created a set of street posters. The posters were legally fly-posted around Soho, close to the signs that inspired their fonts and the stories behind them.

Most have now been torn down, just like the signs themselves.
