Let it swim
Speaking of Plymouth Street, there is this awesome old street sign of “OFFICE” that I’ve been meaning to take a photo of… finally, here it is! Isn’t this cool? Love the manicule, little curved letters, the textures… <3
The brick building has more letters — in vertical. I guess it used to be a paint company or some sort…
I was at a sample sale at the Ace Hotel in NYC (such a cool hotel!!) last week and look what I found — a wall full of types! That’s an eighth floor information wall you see when you just get off the elevator.
I LOVE everything about this wall. So awesome.
Everywhere you go, each turn you make, you see something so very cool in this hotel, I just wanna spend all day looking around and finding things. Could I do that, please? :)
Last night, I was able to attend a great talk entitled “Wood Type in the Digital Age” by Nick Sherman at the Type Directors Club. As you may know, I work with wood type a lot so once I saw the title and who’s giving a talk, I was there already.
These images are from Nick’s Intercut wood typeface project, it was so great to see the process, behind the scene, his thoughts…
Pressing Letters has a nice recap from last night’s talk here.
So glad I went!! I was so inspired to do more work with wood type and do something different, too!!
Came across an ampersand accessory: Cordial Bloom Brooch via Veer.
This mahogany and wood laminate accessory features an ampersand with floral characters from the Cordial Bloom typeface by Riccardo Olocco and Daniele Zanoni. Only 100 will be produced.
It’ll be so cute to wear this! Happy Friday :)
