No, not a post about the REM song. But I could not resist a brief mention of Axis Maps who has produced a beautiful mashup of two of our favorite things here at Dynamic Diagrams: maps and typography. To date, the folks at Axis Maps have produced detailed typographic renderings of two cities: Boston and Chicago, but there are more in the works.

The Boston map
Each map was hand-made, with type carefully overlaid on the existing cartographic structures. Clearly these were a labor of love and the resulting work shows it. See more at:
