Found Type at the Henry Ford Museum

I recently visited the Henry Ford Museun in Dearborn, Michigan. Having grown up in Michigan, I remember visiting the museum with my elementary school class. However, it has been a good 25 years since I've been there and was excited with the opportunity to go back.

It quickly became apparent to me that this place was a capsul for found type. For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to interesting type found in various locations. (My husband is sometimes afraid to ride with me when I am in the driving seat as I am often distracted by signage and that sort of thing. )

I wanted to share some of my favorite findings from my trip! Keep an eye out, you might see some inspiration from this trip in designs to come!

The BelAir logo just makes me smile. 

I was in love with how the black shadow of these letters was actually a shadow...the type was raised off the side of the truck. Awesome. 

If there is a vintage poster in the proximity, I will find it. 

Just adorable. 

Va, va voom! 

I could look at these for hours.

My new favorite font! 

Which is your favorite?
