My brochure from House Industries just arrived in the mail today. It introduces their new collection of fonts, Eames Century Modern. I like to imagine that some blogger, fifty years in the future, will be very excited to discover this at a flea market.
It’s an age old question: How many fonts fit on the side of contractor’s vehicle?
p.s. For vehicular typography at the complete opposite end of the spectrum, you must visit Jonathan Turner’s Autografik set on flickr, which is “dedicated to graphic design applied to motor vehicles. With a focus on modernist corporate identities of the 60's and 70's.”
