Type & Lettering Sunday January 28 2007 11:01 pm

Type over time / New York City / January 25-27, 2007

We couldn’t quite figure out the lettering. It looked a bit like the ones that seemed aged (CO) looked like they might have been the newest ones. They were made out of plywood, but then not sealed well enough against the elements. Actually a pretty decent statement about the state of education today.

    It is somewhere around West 11th Street as I remember. Looking at it again there seem to be three layers to the time. The CO are cleaerly coming apart. Then the S and the second O show the heads of the bolts that attach it. Then the H looks essentially new.
