Despite the ears of corn, this is very much an urban headstone. Robin was a player with the Northern Sinfonia in Newcastle. His memorial had to be clean and simple and to the point; its style, informal. The plain unseriffed letters bounce above and below the nominal baseline like music on a stave. There’s dignity in its stately dance.
