Walking through a city, one of the things I enjoy most is simply seeing words: typography, signs, lettering in all its forms. As you move through the streets, it often feels like the city itself is talking to you.
For years now, I’ve been sharing my take on these on one of my Instagram accounts, posting stylised snippets of words, tiles, bricks and other details that catch my eye. They come from many different places as I travel, from Bulgaria to New York - though most often from Amsterdam or London.
I’ve started to wonder whether these kinds of signs and lettering form a 'personality type' for a city, a visual language shaped by history, design and everyday life.
Today, I am highlighting a selection of nineteen Instagram profiles that focus on typography found in cities around the world, each offering a take on how urban spaces speak through letters.
