Typography on the Streets

Using Carl Dair’s seven contrasts as a lens, Typography on the Streets explores the often-overlooked typographic styles found in painted signs, aging shop fronts, and graffiti tucked behind city corners. It looks at how these styles work, what they communicate, and why they matter. The book is designed as an accessible and thoughtful starting point for designers who want to see type not just as a design element, but as something living in the world around them.
