The awesome hand-lettered script above the windshield on the otherwise creepy-looking Vroom bus, which seems to be permanently parked near the 3rd Street bridge in Gowanus, Brooklyn.

Ruling inks at The Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, WI which is somewhat of a pilgrimage destination for typophiles. This photo was taken on a type nerd field trip with Craig of Twenty Six Types who I co-curate Number of the Day with. We were lucky to be there on a day when Jim Moran, the museum’s Printer+Archivist was in house and had time to tell us some great type history. He’s a walking encyclopedia on wood type and one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.

The strings in the background are from a c.1895 Hickok Double Bean Paper Ruling Machine, which was used to make ledger and lined paper. Here’s a photo of that ruling machine by Liz Sapp.

Wood type.
