Signs of Italy
Outdoor lettering up and down the boot
with James Clough

For the next in Eye’s quarterly series of Type Tuesday events, James will show a large number of pictures of signs from his treasure trove, adding an informed and entertaining commentary on their design, purpose and construction.
The evening will conclude with a panel discussion about the uniquely Italian nature of these signs, with James Clough, designer Giulia Garbin and members of the Eye team. Copies of James’s book, Signs of Italy: Outdoor Lettering Up and Down the Boot will be on sale at the event.
