Further Enduring Characters

Coincidentally, not long after coming across Character, I found this article about the Berlin Museum of Letters on Core77 (via NOTCOT). Obviously enough it’s a museum devoted to letters, big ones created for building signage and wayfinding in wood, metal, glass and plastic. Core77 has some beautiful photographs and a bit of background info on each one. I really, really, want the DaimlerChrysler ones; so shiny! Lovely stuff, go and take a look.

Some of the letters, and the DaimlerChrysler ones on the right. Lovely.

I love this image. This and the other photos in the article are by Aart van Bezooyen.

The Ministry of Type is a weblog by me, Aegir Hallmundur, about type, typography, lettering, calligraphy and other related things that inspire me. I am a designer originally from the far north of England, now living and working in Brighton in the far south of England. I love hand-tracing and recreating old designs as vector artwork, and there are many examples of that in this site. I have a portfolio here containing some examples of my paid work. I don't have a traditional blog commenting system, but you're most welcome to contact me: I've got a contact form on every article page, and one here.
