This was a pedestrian tunnel in London, that was freely open to graffiti artists to work without threat of prosecution. Apparently it was organized by Banksy.


This was painted on a column in Edinburgh; I took the photo this summer. Very contemporary style of typography for the top piece, the bottom is a fun, mix of calligraphy and rectilinear forms.

I'm not sure what the top and bottom pieces are advertising, or if they are related

Mausoleum bronzework typeography



I took this photo in a large cemetery in Paris this summer. The bronze type on the mausoleum isn't quite like anything I've seen before. Feels like a mix between a medieval manuscript and a Vienna Secession-era style.

Interesting Stencil Effect




I'm guessing this is what happens when using a type stencil, and angling the drawing impliment a certain way that the resulting character has much thinner definition than what was intended by stencil. Gives a very clean, linear feel. The mashup quality is also makes it feel like a full pattern.

Abstract New York - with Legos!


Not exactly Typography, but NY abstracted through Legos. Very clever, and brings back old memories as a kid.

I love the sushi/polish flag duo.

Banksy and Typography


A fascinating mix of Banksy's distinct graffiti art mixed with his take on typography.
