Lisbon City Council: LX Type. The official font of Lisbon.

LX Type is the world's first typography made from tracing Lisbon's tram wires. Lisbon's trams are an iconic element of the city. Their wires that blends with the sky emerged the idea of creating a typography based on them. A very interesting project from Leo Burnett Lisboa with the support of the Lisbon City Council. You can test and download from lxtype.pt the fonts for free. You can also find out a place associated with each letter, transforming words in spontaneous and personalized guides of the city.
