Nick Shea is a designer based in East London. Creator of Ombra Brutal, which began as a brutalist interpretation of the typeface Motter Ombra designed by Othmar Motter.

Nick experiments widely with type. Noteworthy is his Albers Moiré, which is part of a project for creating complex type designs with a limited and easily interchangeable set of parts. The structure of Albers Moiré is based on the Bauhaus stencil type designs by Joseph Albers, and uses radiating lines to achieve the moiré effect when layered.
