    The House of North concept was derived from the notion of seeing a letter as an architectural form, combined with the charge that a “secret language” could be discovered.

    Viewing the volume of letters from beneath reveals the richest pattern language, leading the team to develop the entire alphabet in a similar fashion.

    The final mark reveals the bottom pattern of the letters N O R T H as though floating above one another. The diagonal forms depict shadows passing through the forms.
