Abstract

Architecture has had a lot of typographic exploration and experimentation. Typography is influenced by architectural styles and movements. The realms of typography and architecture share many design values. Letters have a combination of functional values and aesthetic values. The letterforms found in urban environments can be interpreted beyond their literal meaning. The purpose of this study is to describe the anatomical structure and typographical design style of ancient buildings in the form of shops in Surabaya. As a trading city, Surabaya has a city center that has shops from ancient architecture scattered in the Old City of Surabaya from Tunjungan street to Semut Station as a relic of the colonial era. Each name in these shops has its uniqueness. Basically, readability and simplicity take precedence. The letters are bold and stand out among the sturdy colonial buildings. The forms of these letters can lead to local heritage, so it can be said that the letters from the typography side can say about the city itself.
