Triumphant Typefaces




One of the first things I noticed when I moved to Austin were the wonderful old signs on all the mid-century apartment buildings. These simple painted wood cut outs have an arresting visual impact and imbue the structures they adorn with an added sense of style and pride. It's as if they're saying "we might be apartments but we're still upper middle class, thank you very much."
