Reshaping the (type)face of one of the largest and oldest savings organisations in the UK. NS&I is unique. 160+ years old, government backed, and with 24.5 million savers on its books, the organisation is like no other in terms of their scale and role within the UK. Creative brand consultants, The Team, share their approach to reenergising the NS&I brand, and how they evolved a font, in collaboration with Fontsmith (now Monotype) to anchor the entire identity system. To The Point – A force for good Their ‘Force for Good campaigns’ help clients address issues and challenges to make a real difference.
