these are shots inside a great coffee shop near where i work in the distillery. i didn't even get all the signs photographed, will go back for more later. plus, their coffee is crack to me now... that, and all the type. (bonus points for finding me -- hint: look right below here, turd!)
It's Balzac, right? I've only been inside a couple of times, but I used to frequent their original location in Stratford on a regular basis. Probably the best coffee I've found anywhere...
After admiring the signs and lettering on my walks to work, I wanted to document what I had found. We often discuss the cultural impact of architecture and urban spaces but rarely the words and letters found in these spaces. So here is villatype, a visual record and discussion of type and lettering found in the public domain. I hope you will all take part by adding to the dialogue and posting your own finds.
Call for submissions
villatype is always searching for found type and lettering in any public space. You can send me images along with your name, city, street and date. Or, even better, become a contributor and post them yourself by emailing me your contact info and I will add you as a contributor.
