About the archive

Forget the tourist traps. Scout travels for the type. For years she has documented the overlooked typography of new cities, from neon signs to hand-painted shutters. She used to hoard these for her own projects, but they were too good not to share.

The archive is a celebration of global design aesthetics, proving that a single letterform can define a community's identity. Use it to find fresh perspectives, study unique scripts and spark your next big idea.
