Below is a great example of taking a classical font such as Bodoni and breathing in new Covent Garden NGS life. A new font was created ‘NGS Bodoni Parmense’.
ABOUT SERAINA
NGS Sign Writing is a multi skilled artistic lettering team, and a bit more. For the Choosing Keeping sign (above +1), we created faux marbling to 23m of sign panels and designed custom classical letters in gold with a Venetian ‘chiselled’ effect.

GRADE II HERITAGE RESTORATION TYPE.
I was trained in lettering and gilding of all authentic era styles working as a junior artist with Allied Breweries. It gave me an ambition to push myself to always be my best.
Working alongside many of the industry’s most consummate artisans and sign masters, I began researching the earliest Roman letters in Pompeii and Rome. Now I paint these today, identically, quietly smiling to my inner moments of special words and inspiration from those masters and mentors.
Much of my daily work is about matching NGS Typographic ideas and quality to these timeless, originals, producing the best branded signs, font developments and graphic artwork.
We create new trends… and always have done.
Above I am painting the lettering ‘NGS Bodoni Parmense’.
A new font I’ve created from the earliest Parma museum alphabets, and in testament to Parma food maestro maker, Camillo Conforti.
EVERY LETTER TELLS A STORY.
