London Typographica

Silver

LDNTypo is a smartphone app that enables users to capture the changing typographic landscape of London, showing how type has changed and evolved across the length and breadth of the capital. Once submitted, every example is plotted on the London Typographica website, showing where and when it was taken, and creating a new and unique view of London. What will eventually emerge will be a massive yet easily navigable database cataloguing and preserving the vast range of letterforms to be found on our streets. Many may be lost in the future, but a host of new and extraordinary forms will surely take their place.
