Kerbside

The street is full of type. Just look down.

See it in the 3D portfolio Kerbside

A display typeface drawn from the lettering cast and stamped into the street.

Drain covers, enamel street plates, kerb markings: type we walk past every day without noticing. Kerbside gathers those shapes into one sturdy, industrial capital alphabet, free to download.
