ABOUT

   
2001. Released by Emigre.



My friend Matt Tragesser sent me photos of some handlettering on a sign in LA. the rest is history. We were unable to find out who painted the original signs before releasing the typeface, but a writer at Los Angeles magazine found out that they had been painted by a man named Cosmo Avila. Sadly, they have since been painted over.

Regular and Bold with Italics.
