I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime.

This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today.

The hardest working font in Manhattan

A story of a 150-year-old font you have never heard of – and one you probably saw earlier today.

This is wonderful and useful. As a native New Yorker with an casual/intermittent interest in typography, I always thought it was weird that I know what typefaces are on the London Underground or German highways but not the one I see every single day of my life. Now I know both what it is and why the answer wasn't a simple search engine query away.
