[OC] Ho creato una mappa tipografica della Svezia dai nomi delle sue località

Hej hej everyone! Thanks for checking out my project. Here’s a little more context on what you’re seeing:

– This is a piece of **Data Art**, not a traditional atlas. The goal is to let the data itself create the art, rather than to show every single town.

– A custom algorithm I wrote places each name from the OpenStreetMap dataset at its exact coordinates, starting with the most populous cities. The main rule is that **names cannot overlap**. So in dense areas, a larger town can block its smaller neighbors, which is why **some well-known places might be missing**.

– Also, since the data is from the community-driven OSM, you **might spot some historical places** that are now ghost towns or have been absorbed into other cities.

I hope you enjoy the result and I’m happy to answer any questions

Wow super cool!!!

Västra Karup , but not Båstad?

Landsort, men inte Trosa?!

Säffle och Bengtsfors men inte Åmål?

Handöl

Stackers Stenungsund o Tjörn

Äntligen, en värld utan Upplands Väsby! Kan en karta bli bättre?

Trollhättan, Mellerud, Brålanda men ingen Vänersborg eller Uddevalla. Man skulle kunna tro att det är en Trollhättebo som har gjort denna karta

Kåtaviken, där bor jag!

Trelleborg over Ystad wild choice Mr Algorithm
