Found Type Friday #79
Angela Riechers snapped this redundant sign in Brooklyn, "...another old restaurant and it's neon sign bites the dust", she laments. Meanwhile, Dutch writer/photographer Jan van Dam spotted these (and more) in Lucca.
Found Type Friday #78
Yes, I know it's not Friday. But it was Friday (last Friday) that we visited Headhunters.
To be honest I had low hopes for this place but by the end of an über-wet week in NI's, well, wettest county, Fermanagh, in-door entertainment was the order of the day. But hats off to Headhunters; the surprising Barber Shop/Railway Museum combo was a top-notch destination - even if you don't need a snip and a trim, which we didn't. The Salon-come-Museum is hidden away behind a block of shops and offices and is jam-packed with Trackie memorabilia, including masses of print and some spooky dummies to freak out the kids.
It's all really well displayed, very professionally done - really impressive and a must if you're ever in Enniskillen. Only don't go on a Monday.
Find out more here. Or ask design-criminal and general toss-pot Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen; he's been there too (along with his pointless pseudo-foppishness) for last year's series of the BBC's Northern Exposure.
Found Type Friday #77
(Phew! Just made it.)
This weeks FTF comes courtesy of Paul from near neighbours Whitenoise. For part of their latest book "The 'Noise" got access to the deepest and darkest reaches of the print shop at the Ulster Folk Museum, something I've wanted to do for ages. The new book is about typographic experimentation and is due to be launched early September with a do/exhibition at The Naughton Gallery at Queen's, 3–10 September.

Found Type Friday #74
Christian "Mozzling" Morris has some superb...no sorry, I mean loads of superb images on Flickr. There's this superb image of garages and I love this dilapidated tiling. Then, of course, there's "Shetland". Thanks for getting in touch Christian.
Found Type Friday #73
A return to our old village isn't complete without a bit of Great Central.
Found Type Friday #72
I know what you're thinking, what ever happened to Found Type Friday? We haven't seen one for blooming ages! Well you can thank Mr Richard J Ellis for its return and this little bit of lovely Helvetica he spotted in Spain (Spain? So does that make it El Vetica?).
