NO PARKING 

A vernacular alphabet inspired by a chance encounter with a local resident painting their very own “NO PARKING” sign on a sidewalk in New York City. The unorthodox hand-painted letters, especially the original interpretation of the letter ‘G’, posed a challenge to create a new font from a single line of letters painted by a member of the public.
