Typographic maps

Axis Maps just released their mapping / art project Typographic Maps. These unique maps accurately depict the streets and highways, parks, neighborhoods, coastlines, and physical features of the city using nothing but type. Only by manually weaving together thousands upon thousands of carefully placed words does the full picture of the city emerge. Every single piece of type was manually placed, a process that took hundreds of hours to complete for each map.

Take a look at their blog for more on how these maps were made.

More Typographic Playing Cards

London based design studio Hat Trick Design has created their own set of playing cards using only typographical elements. The deck of cards features the usual 52 cards and 4 suits each reinterpreted using letters and numbers.
