Typography in old Rauma

Earlier I found some typography from nature. This assignment was a little bit easier: we needed to find three good and three bad typography examples from the city. I took my pictures from old Rauma.

My first good typography example is the signboard of Ruokapuoti Lumo. I like that there is two different fonts and they both are quite simple, sans-serif fonts. In the lumos font there is nice round shapes in each letter. It's clever to use also negative space in logo.

The second good example is the signboard of Jarin Kuvakauppa. It's a photography shop so there is a camera inside of the sign. I like the handmade stencil look of the text in the sign. Even though there isn't that much room around the text, it still looks good.

My third example is a hairdresser mama. The font is really visible and different than others, you can't miss the text when you walk by. I like the thing that there is one letter in each windowpane. The font of texts in the bottom of windows is a simple sans-serif font which is good. I believe that the light sign inside the hairdresser looks nice in the evenings.

My first bad example is a draperyshop's window. I think that the fonts are ok but the color of upper text is too light for that light background. The logo would look nice with darker things behind it.

The second bad example is a photography studio's window. The is too too many fonts mixed together so it doesn't look stylish. The web address is also hard to read.

Third example is this sign of a bar. Apparently the person who wrote this knows nothing about calligraphy. This kind of sign in the middle of beautiful old Rauma? It's just awful.

And this is an extra picture! A really creative door of café Soppi. Handwritten texts with many colours are cute.
