Always wanted to hang a world map on one of my walls and this great design certainly is in consideration. The letterpress typographic world map called Chartis Graphein was designed by Chicago-based designer, photographer, and typography obsessed art director, Nancy McCabe. Love the watercolor version but the map is also available in black on white and white on black here in her Etsy shop.

BUS

BusWould be nice if there were more available funding for functional creative projects like this bus stop in Baltimore, MD. The letter shapes of BUS allow passengers to assume different comfortable positions and the letter ‘B’ provides handicap-accessible shelter making all the waiting passengers part of the art. The project is a collaboration between Spanish collective designers, mmmm and Creative Alliance of Baltimore. You can read more about the project here at Creative Alliance.

Playtype

The concrete slabs were made in collaboration with Danish designer and architect Sigurd Larsen. Playtype is primarily a foundry and an online font shop promoting Danish type design. Their Concept Store shows their fonts in play on different product categories.
