I’ve lived on Denman Street, Vancouver for a few months now, and we’re continuously amused by the non-cool retro typefaces that have been inherited from the 70’s & 80’s. Some of these are quite nasty, and while not always the typeface itself, there is some freaky usage. I’d recommend a walk down Denman to see for yourself.
*Actually I’m still considering if this Minit Foto one is bad or good…
And of course…
Is that every store on Denman? sure looks like it!
and your shoutbox needs work. No indication of what to put in the boxes! tisk tisk…
Is that not just every street in general? I should try to take some photos of signage on the Norwood Road. There is an old café with a faded pepsi sign which catches my eye.

I always want to go there. Neala is not so keen. I think the reasons which make me want to go are the same as why she doesn’t want to.
