This past summer I had the delight of being in Ireland for nine days. So, naturally, I will post the images I took of road signs, tavern and pub lettering, and various other type-related photos!
I figured I'd start off strong with this one from the Brazen Head Pub (their fish cakes and apple pie are to die for)! I went for a night of "food, folklore, and faeries." The type is reminiscent of Old English and was painted on the side of the pub before you entered.
For those of you (well, probably all of you) in my Typography class, I would love to boast that this is "old font used in a contemporary way." It's Old English text, right? Used in the contemporary/modern day and age? While at the same time bragging to be the oldest pub? Eh? Eh? Maybe not.
Regardless, it's pretty cool, yes?
For anyone happening to go to Dublin in the future I posted the link for the event I attended. It was amazing!
