What is Villatype?
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.

Hi, you are very right about the need to document and celebrate industrial signs and grafitti as a valid ascetic.I am a digital Artist from Australia and my name is Tom Hardy.Could I collaborate with you by manipulating some of your photos on my computer and then e-mailing them back to you?I would also like to post them on my blog and link back to your blog...Thankyou Thomas Hardy
I'm searching for a name on a shipping firm in Amsterdam seen by a person on his way to school. It is translated as "Never Thought" but it was written in Dutch and I don't have a correct spelling for it. It was close to Noehadah
