No Parking (Letter Study 01)

When we map out a driving route to New York and it says it’ll take something like four hours to get there, we always forget to add another hour if we want to park on the street. It can be tough to find a spot thanks to the ever present No Parking signs. Machine manufactured or made by hand (mostly the latter), Nina Stössinger and Kel Troughton have documented 52-pages worth from all over Brooklyn, the Bay Area, and NYC proper and present them for your consideration in this handsome booklet. A tribute to totally bonkers lettering made by normal people not generally obsessed with letters—and a good companion to this lecture.
