Urban Typography

I found this image from jschumacher.typepad.com. I chose this as an example of urban typography because parking garages are usually signs of urban areas, and this image inparticular seems extremely urban with it's use of typography. The font is sleak, simple and bold with no serifs. The arrow symbol to the left is also very urban. I love how the text is layed out so you can view it all at once. The repetition of the text hanging from the ceiling of the garage adds to the visual appeal.
