Beautiful typographic map designed by Dirk Schächter from Germany.
Using Helvetica Neue font, the artist carefully positioned each letter to achieve the likeness of the conventional world map.

He spelled Finland with to n’s… It’s not FiNNland.
Idea is great, though have seen it done before, but the spelling mistakes and missing countries are too big mistakes.

It is awesome idea (but i alsothink missing countries and wrong spellings are big mistake…)
I’m Korean and… I felt quite weird seeing NK&SK are perated in this work
In fact, it is right that those two countries are respectively independant but lots of people still don’t consider two as completely seperated nations.
Even my Korean geography class covers contents about nothern Korea’s geography,industries etc..
