Found type in DUMBO. These old brick building signs are the best.

DUMBO Arts Festival 2011 (Night)
I really enjoyed DUMBO Arts Festival again this year, here are some photos from Friday night (it was raining so much…) — first couple are from the Manhattan Bridge Archway area.
and I can’t believe I missed this “Immersive Surfaces“! Found the YouTube video of it, how incredible!!
This project was my favorite — Sweet Stream Love’s River.
Visitors are invited to send short love notes by sms from their smartphone, to be displayed glowing in the rippling surface of the “waterâ€: a surprise for the person you’re with, a note of longing to someone you haven’t seen for years, but can never forget, a word of thanks or a pang of loss.
I participated it, too :) I didn’t get to see my text message there, though.
Love how the type comes out and goes out… see my video I shot here:
Found Type: Anthropologie Store
I was in the neighborhood so I stopped by the Anthropologie store in Rockefeller Center last Friday — it’s always so inspirational! Found some types to share :)
Love the type wall (above) — letters are stamped randomly, but it also makes great textures… caught my eye.
and of course, the letter H :)
Even their SALE area had some great type, nice and big, white and red letters…
LOVE Wood Type Blocks
LOVE these wood type blocks! From Vintage Marvels. It’ll look awesome when you print, too, makes me excited!
Happy Friday with Love <3 :) xo Hijiri
