Typeface for Bar Le Côte in Los Olivos. (The C and G are actually the same glyph, just flipped! ↕️) Message me if you’re interested in trying it out for a project.

@dayandaniello Sweet! More awesome metal ones!

Anyone else collect these? Would love to see some from other cities.

Made a little thing for Arthur’s preschool class.

@elisecarlton @kyleread @domesticetch Wow that’s a great collection of images too!

As a follow up on these concrete stamps, does anyone know what this shape is about? @kyleread @domesticetch @elisecarlton?

@MHD_Studio @pentagram 100%! I've been thinking about this booklet too. I've always wanted a copy of it!

@JoseEliasGanem Fantastic! Never seen a painted one in the US.

@alex_hutchi I believe they are stamps that are put into wet concrete to record who did the paving. The ones I posted are from my neighborhood in CA.

[A+ @a_plus_type]

@domesticetch These are wonderful. This is pure conjecture, but since I’ve never seen metal ones in CA, maybe the embedded metal is an older method?

[A+ @a_plus_type]

@kyleread @stewf These are so good, Kyle. Love it.

@elisecarlton I’ll ask him next time I see him!
