Collectively preaching the invisible elements of typographic style with lyrical metaphor; to design with meaning, emotion, clarity of thought and driven with purpose.
Looking to the effortlessly beautiful and timelessly elegant—we collaborate with the blue-chip giants, the entrepreneurial dreamers and the start-ups; the Oxford suits and the military suits; the odd-balls and the weirdos; our comrades and our conspirators; to strike with feeling and prod the intellect.
“Design is one”—Massimo Vignelli
The Italian godfather of design
Occupying a space somewhere between a tweed draped countryman and a Ducati riding lunatic—spitting rhetoric with the accent of an English toffee; Ciaran was made in Scotland, grown in Wales and civilised across the southern coast of England. Adoring the obtuse, the janky, the destitute words of language; their typographic form, their structure, rules and sound. He is now one half of the duo that is Kin and can occasionally be found writing about himself in the third person.
The conceptual hemisphere of the Kin brain; Ben is a born in the blood creative. An advocate for the inventively unconventional and explorer of the uncharted, striking for the original, the odd, and the innovative. He’s just a big softie when it comes to Toffee (his cat, who is by all rights damn gorgeous) and Padfoot (his dog, who by all rights is a cheeky S.O.B.). Ben is now one half of the duo that is Kin and often found littering the studio with reflector dishes, lights and other camera gear.
