Found Type: Fish & Sip Wall

I was around north Park Slope over the weekend and passed by Fish & Sip restaurant — this bright and pretty blue wall with hand lettering menu made me stop and take some photos!

Hope you had a nice weekend — make sure to enter the SMILE giveaway, it ends tonight!

Found Type: Taking Coffee To the Street

Found type in Fukuoka, Japan. It was a cute coffee kiosk stand and this stenciled store signage/logo caught my eye.

Love the “O” being coffee “to go” cup… it is simple and instant communication.

Found Type: Hot Bird

I have been passing by this building on the way to my studio for quite sometime now and always wanted to take some pictures… but I was always on the bus so I couldn’t…

I happened to take a different route the other day and walked by this building — HOT BIRD signage! I love the yellow bricks, too. I don’t see any Bar-B-Q place anywhere near here (or am I simply missing something?) so I think this is an old signage that was left on the building…

Sounds good, though, doesn’t it?! :) Have a pleasant Wednesday, everyone!

Meredith, NH

So I was in Meredith, New Hampshire over the weekend for my friend Liz’s girls celebration before she gets married in D.C…. (it’s this Saturday!) It was such a fun trip, I saw lots of beautiful fall scenery everywhere we went, here are some pictures from the trip… enjoy!

Found type — Cruise ticket office sign.

I always love coin-operated binocular viewers. This one was by the lake…

We took a train that goes around the lake for like an hour.

A red tree. Isn’t it romantic?

Driving around the lake…

These were so beautiful…

Stopped by this really tiny vineyard for a wine tasting. It was special.

On Sunday… it snowed…! Looking out the window from our lake house we rented… (you might not see well here, but it was snowing so much!)

Have a great day, everyone!

Brooklyn Flea

Last Saturday, I stopped by Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene — It was so great! I guess I hadn’t been there this year yet, I was surprised it got really big! I might have to go check it out every weekend now… (until they close for winter time.)

I found lots of inspirations, letters, took some pictures — enjoy!

Vintage signage:

Found Type: DUMBO

I had a lunch with one of my lovely clients, Christine from LAMA in DUMBO on Friday — I had a great time, she is just wonderful to work with and to talk with :) and after walking around the neighborhood a little, I found some types to share:

I love big types on big buildings, especially on brick buildings.

Found Type: No Dumping

Found in Los Angels. All throughout the street. I think the little dolphin graphic adds a lot to this sign. I love when simple type and graphic work so well together and makes a strong message.

Found Type: Montpelier VT

Hello! I just got back last night from my mini vacation to New England, starting a little slow this morning with lots to catch up…

We were just in Montpelier, Vermont for our friends’ beautiful wedding and got to walk around a little bit yesterday before we headed home. It was such a cute little town, found lots of cool old signs, managed to snap these before it started raining…

Bear Pond Books: Lovely sign!

montpelier1

Coffee Corner: Always sounds good… (I need one more cup)

Hope you all had a great weekend! :)

Found Type: Batting Cage

We stopped by Chelsea Piers Batting Cage on Randy’s birthday (I didn’t try… but he did!) and this insert token area caught my eye. Love the red and the blue combination.

The left side is baseball only and the right side is softball only.
