Helvetica in situ

   (2007.03.27)

Rather extravagant orange Didot (or didot, generically) italics with crapola Helvetica and ITC Bookman. And handlettering.

Sign reads anita’s hair styling in orange italics, with other signs tacked above and extending from the end

Bit of a Cabbagetown mishmash that could stand in for a Leslieville mishmash.

Shop window has Vietnamese sign made of teal adhesive letters in Helvetica
   (2006.08.02)

The R and the C don’t match.

Sign on building reads DENTURE [blanked-out space] CLINIC 249 CHRISTIE ST. 588-3355 in numerous grotesk fonts
   (2006.06.16)

Uncial, Frutiger (apparently), and tacked-on Helvetica all in one sign.

Archway sits over window panes and a door transom labelled Eastern Commerce in uncial, COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE in Frutiger, and 16 PHIN AVE in Helvetica

If you’re going to go uncial, why not go uncial all the way?
