Rivermap Visualization by Kerr | Noble

The recently announced breakup of design studio Kerr | Noble prompted me to revisit some of their work, including “Rivermap” from 1999, in which the meandering contours of the River Thames are depicted using the John Banck’s poem from 1783, “A Description of London.” The map uses the Caslon font, which was designed at the same time that the poem was written. Lovely.
See the London Design Museum’s site for an interview with the duo, including samples of their work.
