An image database and journal dedicated to documenting and contextualizing letters and type on historic signs, broadsides, and buildings -- exploring their role in history, design, and society.
HistoricType.com is still under construction.
Notebooks will be available in a later date.
Notebooks are storage areas for organizing images (and eventually texts) you’re interested in. You will be able to create as many notebooks as you need, based on your projects or interests.
Calling all type, history, and signage enthusiasts: help us update our image database by identifying and updating unknown tags.
