‘Recovered Letters’ from Juan Nava

Juan Nava is a graphic designer in Valencia, and has been working on a fascinating personal project to document and capture the essence of signs and public lettering from that city, and beyond. Letras Recuperadas (‘Recovered Letters’) has evolved into a blog and Juan hopes to one day publish the material in book form (now out!). We’re delighted to share some of his work, and a bit about the history and evolution of the project.
