About Street Level

Street Level is a small weekly magazine about ordinary urban days: where people sit, what they eat, how they get home, who mends things, and what gets built in leftover space. We publish slowly and check our facts — though every person, place and product in these pages is fictional, written for this journal.

Photographs are illustrative stock images, not documentary evidence of the stories. Type is set in DM Serif Display, DM Sans and IBM Plex Mono (SIL Open Font License). Photography via Unsplash. Saved stories are kept privately in your own browser — no account needed.
