This week we have been studying Typography in Introduction to Cartography. Our blog assignment for this week is to find a map with interesting typography, and I found this map of Chicago (or at least part of Chicago):

I chose this map because of how neat it looks. They used typography to show the roads, rivers, etc instead of lines and shapes. It's a bit busy, but it really is a neat looking map. I wouldn't use it to get around Chicago, but it would be a nice piece to hang on the wall.
