Some nice ones there! Reminds me very much of a college project I had many years ago called “Urban Typography”. It was in the same letterbox or wide angle as you have above.
It takes a lot of time to get a respective collection of Urban type together like this.
Good collection – and my favorite is wall street :)

I’ve always thought that the design for the New York Subway was so on point. It’s really simple and effective. Really clean.
Thanks for this neat post.

I have always been fascinated by the way fonts are used to make a statement even if it is unintentional. Very inspirational. I would like to submit one of my own that I took last week while visiting a farm. http://www.monkeehaus.com/2009.....e-a-deere/
