Intriguing calligraphy

Beautiful flowing script found in an antique shop in Bromyard, which reminds me of the work of the great Marian Bantjes.

Newspaper face

From The Daily Mail. A horrible paper but a nice typeface. Does anyone recognise it?





Pub signage








Some excellent raised signage above a London pub.

Funerary inscriptions

















I always enjoy looking at the inscriptions on tombstones. The styles vary greatly, not only from century to century, but also from area to area. These ones are from the north east of England.

Anderson tapes titles



Came across this great computer-style font from the opening titles of Sidney Lumet's 'The Anderson Tapes' the other day. It's worth seeking out if you've not seen it.

Hitchcock titling font








Intriguing titling face from Hitchcock's 1938 'The Lady Vanishes'. Look at that Art Deco lower case 'g'!

More found type




1970's Islington housing estate signage uses this bonded type, which loosens over time and produces these marvelous effects.

Car Park type

















































Found on a rooftop car park: this pleasingly weathered numeral type.
