Here is a video on how to sign write a Narrowboat. It’s got nearly nothing to do with me you’ll be relieved to know but I do try to describe and explain the process.

The design of the name is crucial to the overall look of the boat. The typeface Ive chosen is Johnston 100 used by London Underground Ltd in 1971 the year the boat was built here in Market Harborough.

First commissioned in 1913, British artist and calligrapher Edward Johnston was tasked with creating lettering with “bold simplicity” that would have clear roots in tradition.
