About

Ashcroft dances between sans and serif forms, its flared stroke endings referencing early 20th-century British lettering: carved stone names, Underground signage, and bronze civic inscriptions. The result balances a tactile, handmade tension with practical, contemporary use. One of Peregrin Studio's newest releases.
