A stroll through the old cemetery in town last weekend ended up being a study in typography--capitals and italics mixed with initial caps and bold weights with serifs and sans serifs. While the beauty of each stone harkened to a time past, it was also so current. We explore some vintage typography below (tombstones aside) paired with Louise Despont's architectural stencils on the pages of antique ledger books.
