We cut tall grass
I saw this sign in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward this past October. Most every lot in this area was overgrown.
I dig the ligature here in the word ‘tall.’
Special Effects @SMeltery
Recently found in a flea market this marvelous 19th Century Belgian poster (a sign painter catalog cover actually) that shows different 3D type effects. I wish I had found the whole catalog.
NB. I’ve been a fan of Jack Usine’s fonts – Jack’s firm in Bordeaux is called Smeltery – for a long while now. Also, don’t miss his photo-signage-typography blog Jules Vernacular.
What awesome type
Marlene came over the other day and brought a beautiful Mexican architecture book along with her. It was published in the 60s. She bought it in a second-hand book store in Mexico City if I recall correctly. The type throughout has this archetypal 60s Mexico feel.
