Historically Influenced Typography

Typefaces are copied from history frequently. Ifound this example of historically influenced typography on a salt container from my house in Laurys Station around 10:00pm on Wensday, September 23rd. This typeface seems to be a mix of historical influences. It seems to be from the Display time, due to it's bold and decorative style. The typeface also seem to be influenced by the figurative typography time because it is designed to accually look like salt grains. Overall, I do like the design of this advertisement, because it is simple, yet fun and playfull.

Naturally Occuring Letterform

Naturally occuring letterform is all around. This photo of a household plant was taken around 8pm, September 16th, at my house in Laurys Station. It shows a lowercase "r" typeface form on the slight left of the picture. Ths "r" also looks like it is in italics, which was interesting to me. I took the picture on a slight slant so the italic is not that drastic, but if you look at the house in the background you can see how it is on a slant. The plant leaves slightly lower of the "r" also looks like a lower case "r" on it's side, but this one seems to be a very vertical and skinny typeface.
