Last week I got to explore a new part of London and go on a walking tour of Brixton. I fell in love with everything that Brixton had to offer. It was such a cool area and had a lot of beautiful signage. The signs shown above are all located in the Brixton Village. Brixton Village is a pretty popular place for locals where you can stop by and grab something to eat or shop. These are just a few of my favorite signs that I found but every sign that I found while walking around this market was pretty beautiful. All the businesses are very small and privately owned so I was very impressed by how well done every single sign was. Earlier last week we had a field trip where we went on a Type Safari through the streets of Dalston. We got to learn a lot about the signage of that area as well as start to think about what a sign is saying to you and the kind of emotions that it brings. The Dalston tour happened before Brixton so when I went to Brixton signage was something that really stood out to me. Typography can say so much about a place and it is important that it is fitting. I thought that all the signage in Brixton Village did a great job of capturing the feel for the businesses. This market is definitely something worth checking out!
