More Akzidenz-Grotesk
Thursday, 1 Nov 2007
This sign was “creatively acquired” from a friend’s apartment building and has made the journey out West with me. Akzidenz-Grotesk (read: German for grotesque accident) was ironically–and unintentionally so–used for years on virtually all transportation signs in the Western world (the French had to be different and developed their own typeface for road signs, but I’ll rant about that a later date). I think the fire extinguisher sign is a little more fitting use for the typeface.
