South African Township Barbershops & Salons

We’ve admired Simon Weller’s photography for a long time and we love his book South African Township Barbershops & SalonsAs the cultural and social hubs of South Africas townships, barbershops and salons serve not only as places to get your hair styled but as places to gather, gossip and come together as a community. They also happen to showcase sharp and snappy vernacular designs: renditions of the haircuts on offer as well as typographic demonstrations of each shops name, and now they are being featured on skateboard decks from Familia.

New York City and Africa Type Maps

After a huge number of requests we are delighted to announce the launch of our New York City and Africa Type Maps. We have printed them in sheer slate and duck egg blue and as our other Type Maps, they measure 50 x 70 cm so fit nicely in standard frames. We are donating 50% of this years profits from the Africa Map to the Somalian relief fund.
