Type and signage surround us. They are part of our daily lives and the history of whichever city we happen to live in. Whether old or new, each sign has a story to tell. In Characters, Stephen Banham has meticulously researched the signage and typography of a city to present an exuberant collection of quirky, poignant and often funny stories. From architecture and advertising to cultural history and much more, Characters is a book that will appeal to historians, designers and typophiles alike.

Featuring a treasure trove of long-overlooked examples, Banham reveals how typography is a rich form of cultural expression, redefining the way we look at our surroundings one letter at a time. You will never walk down the street in the same way again.

Called a 'typographic evangelist', Stephen Banham's work has been covered in almost every type annual and design magazine. He is also the founder of Letterbox, a typographic studio, and has lectured in typography at RMIT since 1991. One of his most high-profile campaigns in bringing typography into the public eye was the Death to Helvetica debate in the early 2000s. Since then, he has run a series of forums on the social and cultural importance of letter forms as well as typographic film festivals.
