Typography Tuesday: Antique Locks

Padlocks are probably not the first place you would look if you were trying to find interesting typography. But if you comb antique stores (or Ebay), you could find vintage locks that are as fashionable as they are functional. Here are some fine specimens from Andrew Reams’ aka “Diesel Ducy” padlock collection.

Ever wonder what a Walldog is or gone to Vegas just to see the lights? Well then you're in the right place. Xheight: LA features hand painted and neon signage from the Los Angeles area and beyond.

I've been walking around the city (Yes, I said walk. It can be done, LA!) taking photos of the phenomenal signs that still decorate the skyline.

If you're looking for an excuse to get lost in the city, I've put the locations of the signs on Flickr maps. For those of you who can't make it out to Los Angeles, check out the signs on Flickr.

Hope you enjoy them!
