Margaret Calvert's design work on the signs of Britain's national road network, with Jock Kinneir, means that it is almost impossible to travel anywhere in the UK and not benefit from her skill as a designer. Her ultra-legible typeface and engaging pictograms have become an integral part of everyday British life, and they have set the benchmark for highway signage internationally. This monograph captures the full arc of her career, encompassing the three distinct phases of her professional life and offering insight into her early years in South Africa and her formative experiences after moving to the UK as a teenager.
