Love typography and all it's whimsical and classic beauty!
What a lovely thing to even think to focus on, I adore this idea and collection!
I love these photos. It seems we are so often bombarded by bad signage and misused fonts that it's always refreshing to have some design beauty pointed out. Thank you.
Old typography on buildings, mmmmm.
Love typography… but especially when found on old signs… I used old sign letters to spell out my son's name on his wall. Something about the uniqueness of them…
These are great. It would definitely make a good theme for your downtown.
what a great idea! completely gorgeous.
love letters….such a great idea! xo
sounds good to me and we look forward to your discoveries!
love it! I used to live there- you can tell it's Prague by the háčeks over the Rs.
the tile work in that last photo is wonderful!! what a collection of photos!
I'm crazy about the tile!
that yellow sign is so pretty!
P.S. Not to self-promote, but I just remembered I took some photos of the theaters in my town; this post reminded me of them, and actually I think you might have inspired the photo spree at the time.
