Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert comprehensively shaped the design of way-finding signage in modern Britain. This book appraises their work by focusing on key projects such as UK road signage and British Rail. The typography was influenced by the pair’s own lettering design, and a flexible grid-based layout was devised to accomodate the wide variety of content.
