Hey! Let's have an international found type bonanza!
First, Luz took a trip to New Orleans:
Charlie's been hanging around Bristol Docks and the canals of London:
Pedro's taken a few shots of this lovely sign in downtown Lisbon (Juvenal used to do a nice line in shirts and pullovers before they closed. I'm worried about what's to become of that sign now):
And Loïc, well...I don't know where Loïc's been but he's French and has an eye for a wierd book cover (this one's from 1965):
And all that means I'm up to date with FTF contributions (I think). If you've got any choice nuggets of type loveliness, feel free to send them here.
Big thank's go to Luz, Charlie, Pedro and Loïc.
Great set of photos. A little typographic porn to make the day go smoother. Love the Bristol Docks types, I've always found industrial usage of type to be fascinating and inspiring, often more attractive that a lot of the crap being pumped out by design houses.

Nice series of font photos. Really like the old style signage of Juvenil, don't see that much anymore.

Hi Richard! I passed in front of Juvenil today and it is open again, with rather strange clothing on sale :) But, still, open and working, not transformed into another bank.
Have a nice day.
