Alphabet Truck by Tabuchi
Since Sacramento is a hub for some of California’s major freeways (5, 80, 99), there’s a lot of local truck traffic.
And there’s always some interesting typography to go with them. Yellow is one of my favorites, because it’s not actually yellow. It’s orange.
I also enjoy the typography and colors of the Werner line.
And I do miss the iconic fruit covered Raley’s trucks – no longer seen around town. Artwork by the great Don Birrell of historical Vacaville Nut Tree fame.
On a related note, here’s images from Paris-based photographer Eric Tabuchi’s Alphabet Truck series (above) volume one and volume two.

‘I heard there will be a bigger restaurant in their place. I never been to Di Lalla. I must say, it wasn’t very inviting. But it was there and now it’s not. I wish Georgette and Gilles to have a very happy retirement. On their last message, written on a paper place mat, they said : Thank you! To all our customers and friends for those beautiful 39 years. For some reason, I find this very moving.’ -nathalie
