Here. 43ºN 70ºW is a rendition of a classic nautical chart with a minimalist modern graphic approach. From Scarborough to Harpswell, the general coordinates ‘43ºN 70ºW’ cover the entire Casco Bay, Maine, area, the center of our lifetime explorations, rich with nautical and maritime beauty, history, and lore.
The accompanying type in the print is an homage to the classic forms of vintage typography and letterforms that were seen throughout the Northeast from the 18th century through the early-mid 20th century on storefronts, ship bows and transoms, shipping crates, can and jar labels, flags and banners, and pretty much anything that was made to visually inform – all painted or etched by hand.
