the kenmore lanes is very interesting and I like the painted brick walls, Buffalo had some of the most interesting painted brick signs when I last went down. I think Typecon is going to be amazing this year (wish I could go).
Good Question! The building was painted bright blue for years and recently bought and it is being stripped by the new owners. The signage under the paint seemed to resist the stripping and that is all that has emerged. The building is on Delaware Avenue near City Hall
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.
