Berlin Type Map

Berlin Type Map is researched, written and photographed by Jesse Simon.

Berlin is a paradise for fans of urban typography, from ornate pre-war inscriptions to elegant neon letters and psychedelic U-Bahn stations. The Berlin Type Map collects fifty of the city’s finest signs, with an introduction, descriptions and photographs by author and historian Jesse Simon. This guide is an essential companion for anyone wishing to rediscover this fascinating city through the lens of its letterforms.

Perfect for a walking tour or framing, this map opens to A2 and folds to A5 and is protected by a wide band. All of our printed publications are printed on quality FSC-certified recycled paper by a carbon neutral printer.

The map texts are in English.

Berlin Type Map is our fourth Berlin map, following Brutalist Berlin, Modern Berlin and Berlin U-Bahn Architecture & Design Map. The set is available at a discount here.
