New Orleans – street type
New Orleans is an amazing city with a colorful past. I LOVE this city! And I could probably create an entire blog based solely on the signs and imagery of NOLA but, in the interest of variety, I’ll stick to showing signs from wherever I happen to be…
WOODWARD WIGHT
Great vertical corner sign with a definite Bauhaus font influence. The Bauhaus School (literally meaning ‘building house’ in German) was founded in 1919 by Walter Groupius in Weimar, then the capital of post WWI Germany. The original Bauhaus had no capital letter forms which were added in ITC Bauhaus by Ed Benguiat and Victor Caruso in 1975. Read more about the orginal bauhaus font here. Some great variations for the original font can be found on myfonts.com. Google fonts similar to bauhaus are extremely limited with just a few highly stylized variations.

THE PEARL
For this awesome restaurant sign, I’m going to have to go with a modern version of the retro font since I can’t find an exact match to what is a terrific throwback to the 1920’s when The Pearl (119 St. Charles Ave.) first opened it’s doors.
