I have this mildly odd obsession with stopping to admire or comment on typography when I’m out and about. My boyfriend certainly knows about it, as do most of my friends and family. I snapped a couple of photos recently without realizing how similar the typography was between them.

I was grocery shopping and found this awesome label in the canned goods section. Trying to nonchalantly take a photo of a can of beans in the grocery store is not an easy task. The woman down the aisle definitely gave me some odd looks. “Trust me lady, I just like the serifs on this bean label” might sound a bit crazy to the average individual — but seriously — look at the serifs there! Almost like they’re extended, loopy, ball terminals. And I love how the angles are replicated, even with the crossbar in the “A.”

I also snapped this little gem at my parents house a few weeks back. I stole borrowed this jean jacket that was my dad’s (hi dad!) in the 70’s and the label caught my eye. Again, the triangles/arrows/angles are on the sides of the type (anyone know what those are called??) and the rounded serifs are the icing on the cake. Plus, that little “Blue Bell” logo is pretty fun.

Anyway, that’s a peek into my typography-loving world. And, as an extra bonus, I’ve complied a few typefaces with a modern take on the Western Style. Check them out: Cirque, Reina, Haymaker
