Signs
by Phil Baines and Catherine Dixon
It’s a large format book and it’s written by two people who work at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. It’s predominantly photographs with brief captions and it just shows you how type is used on signs throughout the world: road signs, engravings on big important buildings in Rome, signs on departure boards.
