"About the project:
The aim of this project is the creation of an archive of publicly sourced images of found typography in the Leeds area.
Images will be selected based on the criteria set out in the FAQS and as well as forming an archive they will be used as research material to aid the development of an open source typeface.
Is it possible to extract an essence or vernacular from such images?
The resulting typeface will be used to create the identity of ongoing type-based projects."
For this project I have chosen to submit this image I took:
I really love this graffiti and when I came across it I just had to get a quick snap! I love it's simplicity - there are no decorative features with this graffiti, just simply the text "cheer up leeds". I just love how the words almost make you crack a smile! I also think it's very much like something you'd see on tumblr..
