Dex's Typographic Maps of London at Run For The Hills
Dex's typographic maps showcase London by featuring hand-crafted typography to mark the locations of novels, films, and songs throughout the city. Launched in 2012, the initiative started with the Literary London map, which identifies 150 fictional works at their actual sites. Currently, the project has expanded to encompass maps dedicated to films and songs, with each map requiring several months of research and design. These maps can be viewed at the Run For The Hills gallery in London.
