Illustrated ‘Food Mart’ renderings, circa 1962
Vintage architectural renderings of storefronts by an anonymous artist. These were found in a photo album.
It’s amazing how many of these appear to be prototypes for stores that did exist. Wonder what the story is behind them (one agency created facades for many major chains)??

Film by Run Wrake. Made with official CSA ‘bonehead’ images!

The Return of Joe’s
Rumor has it that Original Joe’s in San Francisco may be reopening this year.
Hoping to stop in for a Martini, of course.

Brownstone, with Artie Shaw
‘An original 21st-century design by Alejandro Paul, Brownstone is a monoline sans-serif with ornate details inspired by historic brownstone buildings of Brooklyn, NY.’
Love type. But also love Artie Shaw.
Moderno baby
Nina Stoessinger does great work. Pictured, a bilingual birth announcement she designed for a friend, using my Jeanne Moderno Titling font, paired with FontFont’s Dagny Thin.
She dropped a few to me in the post. It’s always great to see how my fonts end up being used.
Congratulations to the new parents – and Laura!
