Saint Hackney is the newest display serif typeface from LB Type, drawing inspiration from the architectural restoration of Saint John at Hackney Church in East London by John Pawson. This elegant typeface bridges classical and contemporary design elements, featuring characteristics of both Transitional and Modern serif classifications, similar to historical typefaces like Baskerville and Bodoni.

Distinguished by several unique characteristics, including its distinctive 'R' tail and Old Style-inspired lowercase 'a', Saint Hackney’s design philosophy mirrors Pawson's 2019 restoration of Saint John at Hackney Church, where nineteenth-century architectural elements harmoniously coexist with contemporary interventions. Similarly, Saint Hackney bridges historical and modern typographic elements, presenting itself as a typeface that feels both timeless and contemporary. As intended through the architectural restoration, the emphasis on functional beauty, multi-purpose use and reviving a space for community and sound to flourish, Saint Hackney’s letterforms similarly provide a versatile stage for various applications, making it perfectly suited for editorial design, branding, and creative installations where both heritage and modernity shall coexist.
