Typographic Dex
LONDON
I am a London-based designer, creative director and illustrator with a couple of decades of experience across print, web and film. I have a distinct handcrafted typographic style, clever and conceptual, with themes of literature, music and film.
Proudly independent
A few favourite PIECEs
I’m maybe best known for my highly creative typographic maps, which have been featured in numerous publications, art books, and exhibited widely, including The Other Art Fair and the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair.
Each map is a deep dive into London's cultural identity, celebrating its status as one of the world’s most cinematic and creative cities. From its legendary literary heritage to its rich musical legacy, these maps showcase iconic novels, films, and musicians, all meticulously plotted in their most famous locations. Every piece is a true labour of love, taking up to a year to complete.
More recently I’ve been playing around with stencils and spray paint to create atmospheric pieces inspired by some of my favourite music artists.
My work has been featured in Time Out, The Independent and The Evening Standard.
I also work under the pseudonym 'Christopher Trotman', as co-founder and Creative Director of Run For The Hills — a multi-disciplinary, award-winning design studio specialising in art, branding, and interiors.
