Bold, Regular, Light!

Fancy your name in lights? No problem with these new Alphaled LED lights from SKK Interactive. Last Christmas the designer Shiu Kay Kan was driving in West London and seeing many corny Xmas messages in the windows of tower blocks, realised that there was an opportunity for self expression. “Sad Christmas” perhaps?
The resulting typeface is interesting - the plastic pipes create very loose monoline letterforms. Shiu confesses that they weren’t originally designed to look so hand-written; it was a happy accident at the fabricators. Available soon at £10 per letter or £40 for 10 – West London is going to look quite different next Christmas…
