Description

Letterforms surround us: inscriptions or names on buildings, directional signs for road networks or within and around buildings. This book focuses on the letterforms and typography found in public places which help us to navigate towns, cities and countryside and which contribute to a sense of place. Featuring examples from around the world, the book discusses the function and execution of signage, focusing on the intentional rather than on the accidental or temporary. Visually led, 'Signs' contains some 700 colour images grouped thematically and described in extended captions. The best current examples of signage are shown alongside historical material. This is the first book to look at recent developments in the field and to give a broad overview of signage. Part resource, part celebration, it forms an exciting visual compendium.
