IN THIS ISSUEThe San Fernando Valley—known for sprawl, smog, and porn—was shaped by waves of immigration, post-war growth, and a mix of urban and suburban life that has given rise to a unique typographic identity. From handwritten signs advertising corner shops to murals that echo the area’s Chicano roots, the typography in these spaces captures the spirit of self-expression and survival. These hand-crafted letters are more than just words—they are a testament to the Valley’s diverse identities, offering a visual language that mass-produced signage could never replicate. In a place often overshadowed by its glitzy neighbors, this grassroots typography remains a proud symbol of local history, community, and creativity.
