Text in numbers: mini-exhibition 2: the number '28' in 'P&O' style
Text in numbers: the number '28', in white on black 'P&O' style, on the street-side brickwork of a house.
A dashing arrangement in an elegant color scheme (white on black). 'P&O' was a variant of Art Deco, especially popular in seaside suburbs in Australia. Manly Council has an interesting Art Deco brochure, with good illustrations, to assist residents doing work on houses retain important style elements.
This mini-exhibition of type and text was inspired by the designer PennyCandy (Amy Peppler Adams)'s tutorial on typography; one of Amy's tips is to "Try to choose appropriate typefaces to convey your message. A great way to get in the habit is to observe type around you; it's everywhere!" I set out to see if this was so.
