Project Linework is a library of handcrafted vector linework for cartography, each one designed in a unique aesthetic style. It’s meant to break us away from the default line paths that we so often rely on by providing some more visually-interesting alternatives. Download the current files at projectlinework.org. Learn more about Mr. Huffman's inspiration.

- Illustrator: projected to best fit extent, PDF & Inkscape compatible
- SVGs: for web and other vector needs
- Shapefiles: great with QGIS or ArcGIS
- GeoJSON: Add to your webmaps

The projectlinework.org website is hosted here as well - it's a jekyll website and can be run locally with jekyll serve --watch.

You can convert all shapefiles of a particular linework set by using convert.sh <linework_set_name>. In order to convert/update a linework set this way we assume:
- you have a
/shpfile directory set up in your new linework set with properly formatted Shapefiles - you have installed
gdalon your computer to useogr2ogrto convert shapefiles to GeoJSON - you have installed
topojsonglobally on your computer to convert GeoJSON files to TopoJSON.
Deployment is only possible if you have Amazon s3 keys provided to you by the Project Linework maintainers.
