MuirMcNeil TwoDot is the latest addition to our ever-expanding Two Type System — a collection of typefaces built as components of a larger, modular framework where individual glyphs collaborate in perfect harmony. A shared grid governs every element: letterforms, spacing, and pattern panels all align, allowing any of the system’s 200+ alphabets to overlay seamlessly. In design layouts or animations, users can generate an almost infinite number of unique combinations.

Interlock

A series of unique one-off posters, typeset in MuirMcNeil Interlock. 70 x 50 cm, printed on HP Indigo.

The series comprises five sets of six posters which correspond to the font styles of the Interlock type system. In Interlock, the relationship between positive and negative parts of letters is broken down into even patterns of horizontal or vertical lines to provide tonal densities within the body of the type.

Each set of posters has its own colourway – buyers select a colour of their choice and will receive a randomly selected print from that set.
