Type Tasting at #3 on Rockett St George’s Our Favourite Things to See and Do at This Years London Design Festival
For the London Design Festival a year ago, Type Tasting posed the question “what’s your creative London?”.

Kasikov’s eclectic mix of letters is designed in true London style—trash, glam, techno, kitsch, vintage and super-modern all happily mixed together.

An evening of making ‘creative London’ words accompanied by cold beer was just what we all needed.
