Shot over the past few months for an assignment given in my typography class.

Quite nice, including the mechanism!

I agree. A very good collection of typoimages.

The gallery mechanism that Ben used is the amazingly sweet (and astonishingly free) Flash�-based SimpleViewer. Highly recommended.

Nice stuff!

But Hrant, isn't this where you normally explain that what we're (mostly) seeing isn't found type, but found lettering? ;)

Marc, I've learned to restrain myself - so I only bring that up when there's a terminological angle to the discussion. And of course now there is. :-)

Not even "found lettering", but "found letters"; maybe even "found symbols".

I didn't pound any back button; I just opened the lot in my favourite image viewer. It's often possible to use software that doesn't fight you every step of the way.
