Letters From Deptford is the first in a series of projects under the title _from Deptford. It is a typeface made from signage found along Deptford High Street.

We hope to document and record the existing conditions of the high streets of Lewisham, before they change, or disappear completely. Starting with Deptford High Street, a physical timeline of trade, trend, triumph, and failure, we photographed the shop signs and turned the letters into an alphabet which we used to type out messages sent in by the community.

"A high street could be seen as the visual maxim of inclusivity, it holds the moral compass of a people and an index of local culture."
