photoq auction 12
dutch blog ‘photo q’ is hosting a new online photo auction with some unusual pieces on offer, bidding ends on the 7th (next sunday) at 22 hours…
the ‘krul’
if you are familiar with amsterdam, the fabulous hand-rendered swash typography of the old (heineken & amstel beer) café windows, probably hasn’t slipped your attention
type designer ‘ramiro espinoza’ was surprised …that such gorgeous and original letters have largely been ignored in a country with such a rich type and letter-making tradition… and decided to make his own reproduction font, now for sale via myfonts
he also wrote a very interesting background article on the subject of this sadly dying/disappearing art form
(via items magazine)
am ste rdam
interesting article on the new roof typography at amsterdam central station, i actually rode under this a few days ago without noticing it… the scale is so large that you need to be across the river to see it…also funny that the gap now leaves the two words ‘am’ & ‘rdam’ (an abbreviation for rotterdam…)
