Chapel Market is a traditional street market, set in the heart of Angel for 150 years.

The graphic design embraces existing materials and methods used by the market's traders. New signs echo stall frames, both in their steel box tube construction and in how their lengths, bends and joints inform the choice of new house typeface 1903 (itself inspired by the local area) for all titling, numbering and maps.

Large-scale floor patterns play further with these forms to help zone the market, a wayfinding approach supported by on-site maps, each of which employs a colour palette drawn from the bold tarps of this vibrant pop-up streetscape.
