ClassSigns of the City
Faramcia di San Marco
During my study abroad in Florence, Italy, I studied the local signage of the city. During a class field trip to a 2000+ year old apothecary, I became fascinated by the city’s evolution of type and how the signs shapes urban life. Since the closing of the pharamcy, the structure has become at risk of renovations, so I re-created a digital typeface to preserve the city’s history.
