Introduction
What’s the big deal? Well it’s what we call deep set quality in short… but requires extra explanation as to how we measure quality and place the design ‘gemstones’ in the final piece.
Always aware of the need to never overdress beauty. These letters and numbers embody a considered approach.
They aim for a sense of purity: enduring style rather than the splashes of overdressed effects.
Care and considered. That’s the gulf of the difference and divide in our work.

SIGN CREATIONS ENRICHED WITH TRULY FINE TYPOGRAPHIC DESIGN
Creative with creativity
Melbourne House (Deal) letter architecture was derived from Italian ‘Bodoni’ elongated type/font and re crafted with 1930s era features. Wanting to never add the obvious, that many tend to do, overcooking is not something found in the greatest of any classical design.
It’s often what is paired down that offers so much. The simplification of the central ‘E’ character horizontal bar and the gentle rounding of various serif extenders, adds romance and rhythm to the arc format and whole. Tiny decisions on detailing that create such a difference and add a perfect sprinkle of mindful, memorable flavours, voice and lasting quality.
It’s why we are here and making these beautiful things for your home.
Ideas about design
I’m lucky that my sign-painting work includes specialist gilding, developing new ideas as a letter designer, typographic designer and traditional sign Painter combined.
Most of my clients know me as a meticulous signwriter, glass gilder and specialist graphic artist from the work they have seen here.
I aim for distinct and unique: specialise in making hand painted Retail signwriting, gold house numbers, Gold leaf windows, Feature walls, Office missions, Wayfinding signs and House numbers… my other skills include interior mural schemes and full design project management.
Every sign I paint is a reflection of my personal journey as an artist.
