Long shot, but does anyone have any sign painting or lettering contacts in Morocco?

A deep bow to @kellianderson for the astonishing ambition of Alphabet in Motion. My favorite pop-up mechanisms are those that clearly explain principles of type design that are difficult to show in static images: the asymmetry of S and O; the optical correction devices of overshoot and horizontal/vertical stroke weights; the concept of variable axes. It’s not only beautiful and fun, it’s a godsend for educators! #KelliAnderson #PopupBooks #TypeDesign #Lettering

A pop-up book spread titled “a Sleight of Type Design”. Interactive overlays demonstrate the unequal shapes in letterforms that otherwise appear equal at first glance.

Yesterday's #AmperSand, in one of our old favourite haunts, Cockenzie.

Besides always making these below the high tide line, today I also include evidence of another main method I use for ensuring the work is ephemeral in nature: a helpful ChildBot!
