Letters everywhere...




I've always loved letters and alphabets, numbers, fonts... to the point ot being mesmerized by their shapes and forms instead of concentrating on how they were to be used during Algebra class (sorry, Mrs. ??). Lately I've noticed a little trend of flash cards and alphabets, mainly for kids' room decor, but also for grownups as well, around the web. On our trip home last week we spotted some fun typography from the last century which I'll have to post at some point; notably in public school signage that must have all been created around the same time, as they all emply a standard cut metal (aluminum likely) Futura all cap. Yesterday here in Nashville I spotted the same on a public school wall over off Chestnut. A great look. Anyhow, here are a few fun letter-related links. I'd love to try my hand at creating some, in many different languages.
