Take The TTTT

If you really like typography, signage, and the TTC––like, really really like it––maybe you'll want to join Joe Clark this Sunday, October 28, at 2:00 p.m. at Scarborough Centre Victoria Park Station for the TTC Type & Tile Tour (or TTTT), a guided excursion through some of the Transit Commission's successes and failures with signage.

Breathy Tweet

The above headline is an anagram for the Better Way. Inspired by a recent anagram map of the London Underground blogger RobotJohny does a similar map of the TTC. The results are often poetic. The stations of the Scarborough RT in particular lent themselves to anagrams like "Arborescent Grouch" (Scarborough Centre), "Morrocan Wad" (McCowan Road).
