I’m so excited to be traveling to Louisiana today for my 14th AAF talk with AAF New Orleans, this also marks my 12th and final talk of 2023. New Orleans typography has had a tremendous impact on my journey with typography.
It is home to my favorite Walgreens in the country:
I can always count on finding fantastic hand lettering:
The pedestrian friendly wayfinding is unlike any I’ve seen anywhere else:
It’s haunted:
…and while we are talking about ghosts, Ghostsigns are everywhere:
The neon in the French Quarter is what dreams are made of:
…and, of course, their beautiful manhole covers:
I am so excited for this presentation and to be back in the Crescent City. If you’re in the area, please come out and say hi!
