Saint Paul de Vence Cemetery
29 May, 2019
This cemetery is in a quaint medieval village in the south of France. Funny story: here lied Marc Chagall, I walked right past his grave but totally missed it. You can see it here on Google maps.

Buchstabenmuseum Is Re-Opening Again!
20 May, 2019
Kimya and I had the pleasure of giving a talk at the Berlin Typostammtisch last week. We spoke about the Mumbai Typostammtisch and life & design in India.
The event was hosted at the brand new Buchstabenmuseum location in Moabit. It had been closed since shortly after I left Berlin (end of 2014), and has just now found a new home and is reopening. The space is still in progress, but it’s great to see them with a new home and open again!

Torino Film Museum – Part 1
16 January, 2019
Beyond just the type, The National Museum of Cinema in Turin was amazing. It’s for sure worth a visit if you are at all into movies or museums and are in northern Italy. For the typographically inclined, there were many nice samples of letters to ogle – here are a few interesting samples (with another post dedicated to film posters is coming soon). The lighting was generally dark, reflecty, and difficult to photograph… You can still get a decent idea…
A Visit to Archivio Tipografico
21 December, 2018
It was so exciting to visit the Archivio Tipografico this summer. We were graciously given a detailed tour and got to explore their incredible studio and archives. There is so much great stuff and work being produced there (we still love the posters we got from them last year)! It’s definitely worth a visit for anyone into type in Torino!
Il Cirmolo – Vintage e modernariato
14 December, 2018
These are some surreptitious pics snapped at Milan’s most interesting vintage shops. We were drawn in by the signs in the window and were hooked by all the great type inside. Unfortunately we weren’t close to buying anything here, but we’d certainly go back if we win the lottery. Note to self: buy some lottery tickets.
There is tons more to see in the shop – it’s certainly worth a visit. But since I didn’t ask about taking photos I wasn’t very thorough or exacting with the clicking pics.
Milan House Numbers
8 December, 2018
A few nice house numbers from Milan. I should have interviewed Antonio Cavedoni about this more, he seems to know a lot about the different styles, manufactures, and histories of these unique figures…
Milan Type
4 November, 2018
There’s more than just fashion in Milan. There’s also plenty of inspiring type to be found, several great book stores worth checking out, and the food was pretty good too :)
