Found Typography // Lower East Side

I’ve had a passion for typography for years. In design school, I was introduced the concept of typography. It was new then and it is new today. Type is full of so many nuances and sensitivities, it never ceases to amaze me. Over the past year or two an idea has been marinating in my mind. It revolves around typography. Found typography. It is a very loose idea that continues to rattle around in my head. Thankfully, it has yet to rattle loose.

As part of my research and development, I am trying to “acquire” as much found typography as possible. The easiest method for me is photographic. Below are some examples of found typography that exists in the Lower East Site of Manhattan. More will come in the future. More neighborhoods. More stories. More discoveries. And more typography.
