Love this quirky Western circus inspired decorative gold type for Porsena Restaurant on East 7th Street in the East Village (NY).

Fun and whimsical package design for Moretti’s Lampo (instant polenta).

Love this retro sign for Maglione’s Italian Ices, (especially the wonky script type) found parked at the Hoboken (N.J.) pier in the summer.

“The Beautiful and Eclectic Typography of Italy”. We are really fascinated by the range and well executed type signage all over Italy. The next few posts are from different Italian cities.

Fun and colorful custom type for diGennaro Italian Café in Munich (Germany)

Another cool piece of found type; the painted on wood sign for Terroni restaurant on Queen St. West (Toronto, Ontario). The serifs get thicker from left to right, but it’s rustic and charmingly simple approach seems to work.

Really like this weathered custom lettering for Calamari Cafe in Boston’s Little Italy (MA).
