The article focuses on the typosphere of housing estates. Using the example of one such typical space, distinctive typographic practices are analysed: services points’ signs, advertising media, noticeboards, pin boards, notifications left in staircases and corridors, created by and for local residents. Particular stress has been laid on grass roots and non-professional practices, as well as on the act of interpreting signs and writings with the use of anthropological tools, the writings’ function and reception.
