In seven months of painstaking work, the creative director finished his “Google Maps Typography” alphabet. Wow! tags: - Typography - Photography - Land Art title: Landform Typography url: https://www.urbanartcore.com/landform-typography/ --- # Landform Typography After the [typography-inspired bookshelf](/letters-bookshelf-by-pieter-de-leeuw/) by Pieter de Leeuw and the great [“Type the Sky”](/type-the-sky-lisa-rienermann/) photos by Lisa Rienermann I will show you another alternative typography project, which is called *Google Maps Typography*... Creative director [**Rhett Dashwood**](http://rhettdashwood.com.au/16575/Google-Maps-Typography), who is interested in creative media, including interactive, animation, branding, print, film making and digital art, was a bit bored in October 2008 and started for this reason to search for some letter-like landmarks and buildings in Google Maps. When he finished seven month later, in April 2009, he had created his own bird’s-eye perspective landform typography alphabet...fantastic, isn’t it? If you think, you could do that even better, write me an e-mail and send me your result! Nothing is impossible... ![typographically landmarks]() typographically landmarks
