Ames

42.0217° N — 93.6435° W

An Ames street map print in three colorways — an instant digital download of the Iowa college town written out street by street. This is Ames at ground level: the long reach of Lincoln Way, the university streets threading toward Iowa State, and the quiet grid of Campustown and downtown, each named right where it runs. It's the kind of map that reads like a memory of walking home.

The colorways

One city, three moods

Ames street map print, Accent colorway — Accent The city's own colour — a school's, a flag's, or KVARTER's fjord blue. The one edition that is about the place itself.

Ames street map print, Ink colorway — Ink Street names reversed out of deep ink, warmer than a flat black. Reads as type first, map second.

Ames street map print, Paper colorway — Paper Warm paper, names set dark. The lightest of the three to print at home, and the easiest to frame.

All three come with every purchase — the same Ames fits a bright hallway or a moody study, and you can change your mind later.
