Grocery Signery by Monsicha Srisuantang

What can the storefronts of everyday places like grocery stores reveal about the city’s scenery? In a city as diverse as New York, where food cultures from around the world exist block by block, the names and signs of grocery stores offer a clues about culture, community, and identity. This project explores the design elements of these signs, both textual and visual, to reflect on how the often-overlooked language of storefronts shapes how we navigate, experience, and connect with the city’s multicultural foodscape.
