Held up as one of the best examples of ecclesiastical architecture in twentieth century Britain, St Bride's stands like a fortress in East Kilbride. Designed to turn humble daylight into dramatic stage lanterns, the light cannons guide beams towards the pulpit – a juxtaposition of holy symbolism in a building largely void of religious adornment.

Named after a nun who was born to an unmarried mother, and later became one of the earliest patron saints of Ireland, this Brutalist, Grade A listed building is still used today.

The typeface is inspired predominantly by the narrow brick patterns on the outside of the church, as well as the thin ceiling slats that cut in natural light across the day.
