Found Type: Meatpacking District

Posted on by Hijiri

I was around Meatpacking District yesterday and found some cool types to share. I’ve been wanted to take some pictures around this neighborhood for a while so it was nice to finally take my time and look around and see what catches my eye.

This is not found type, but after seeing the cutout of the “Heller” signage, I saw Apple store is the same so I took one picture. Love that you can see through sky.

Uniqlo Display

Posted on by Hijiri

Uniqlo in SoHo always has bold and fun store display and right now, they are having all sorts of fun t-shirts (the website is cool as usual!) in the store, I had to go in and check some out… but what really caught my eye was these mannequins with monitors. Each mannequin is wearing a cool typographic t-shirts and related subject is playing in the middle. I had to watch it for a while because not only the t-shirts, but also the visual that was playing on each mannequin was all so cool!
