A poster dedicated to New York found typography
Through modernisation, globalisation, homogenisation and gentrification, local graphic vernacular is gradually erased, forgotten and lost. Upon moving to New York in 2022, I attempted to record the iconic city’s specific visual languages and the history and community they represent. The end result was an Instagram page (@nyc_found_type).
In January 2025, I designed and screen printed a speculative type, or sampler for an imaginary typeface, with a key guiding a journey through the weird and wonderful of New York found type.
Screen printed poster, 11 x 17 inches, dark blue ink on pale grey 135 gsm cardstock. Available for purchase in my shop. 2025 and 2026 editions available.
