Time for a Birthday Calendar
This year, the Industriemuseum celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Type Walks in Paris and beyond
From time to time, I take a city trip to one of the neighboring countries. Whenever I arrive in a new city, one of the first things I do is exploring the streets in search of typographic treasures. From vintage shop signs to hand-painted lettering and unexpected details hidden in plain sight, every city has its own visual language. Enjoy this collection of typographic discoveries from my latest wanderings.
