Week 3: Digbeth - Handwritten

15-02-2010/Barn St./Muhammed Ali/Handwritten note placed beside the buzzer, but to some people it wouldn't make sense as you wouldn't ring a buzzer, you would BUZZ a buzzer. There is an irregularity of height in the three lines, and also no consistency.
15-02-2010/Pickford St./Halilibrahim/Brick work used as a grid, following the same design in lettering. Even with the lettering weathering away, it is still perfect lettering for an exterior notice.

15-02-2010/Fazeley St./ Halilibrahim Shevket / Machine typeface, using the brick work as a grid, with height and width of the letters. There's a black outline around the lettering. We normally see black outlines as a shadow to show a 3D standout, but with this outline, we see it to make the letters stand out from the wall.
