YAFTA يافطة

Interesting acts of public signage and typography spotted on the streets of Cairo. Collected and curated by Tarif. Public signs, commercial signs, posters, billboards, and any kind of publicly displayed words. Some are great, some are funny, some are borderline visual crimes, and some are works of art. All belong here. Help me out and share the ones you spot on yaftablog (at) gmail (dot) com
