Typeface from Chestnut Tree - Castan, by Carter Wong.

Delicious and ridiculously beautiful, letters are carved from the trunk of a chestnut tree.

created for Howies, by Carter Wong.

So intricate, the word "unique" hardly scratches the surface.

Montgomery (2014) outlines Howies persona as "rugged, hard-wearing a low-impact ethos, Carter Wong decided to create the typeface using a wind-fallen chestnut tree from near the clothing brand’s base in Cardigan, West Wales."
