Cumbria Type
Custom typeface expressing regional identity
Cumbria’s accents vary from town to town, which makes them extremely localised. The younger generations may feel pressure to soften or hide their local accents, which affects how communication and how cultural identity is expressed.
Using shapes and the length of letters to suggest how words are spoken can imitate the rhythm, pace and put an emphasis on spoken language.
