This map explores Berlin from a new perspective: architectural lettering. With insightful descriptions and original photography by Jesse Simon, discover centuries of typography across Berlin, from hand-painted signs and centuries-old stonework to neon letters and contemporary metalwork. The unique lettering of Berlin connects us to the city's cultural history and thriving present, and inspires us to find the hidden stories of signs all around us.
