It's everywhere!
What started out at a graffiti movement has now become a mainstream decorating phenomenon!
In college I took this fantastic class on Typography.
(I know. A whole class about Typography. Many of you are probably thinking, "How boring." or "How does a class about letters take up an entire semester?" But I was a Graphic Design/Illustration major...and I found it fascinating. Ask anyone who knows me...they'll tell you that I have a font library on my computer that rivals the National Archives. I'm obsessed. Just kidding. Sort of.)
ANYWAY...
Subway art takes all sorts of funky, junky, classic, basic, serif, sans-serif, and any other font styles you like, and throws them all together to create art, usually based around a theme:
Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, Families, Art, Hobbies, Kids, Cooking, etc. You name it...it's ART.
The best part? There are all sorts of fun DIY projects being done out there with this great Typographic style! I LOVE it! It's modern, clean, but can fin into ANY decor style!
Here are some of my favorites taken from some fantastic craft bloggers:
