Gar, I missed another one of Tobias Frere-Jones’ NYC Typographic Walking Tours but luckily Jason Santa Maria โ a fellow so nice they named him thrice โ has photos. Photos from his first tour here. (via airbag)

This past weekend, Tobias Frere-Jones led a typography tour of lower Manhattan for the AIGA, which I’m sad I missed (out of town guests + didn’t get a ticket in time). Luckily several people have uploaded photos from the tour (set 1, set 2, set 3, set 4), including a shot of one of my favorite lunchtime destinations, the Cup & Saucer. Love that sign (see close up).
The phrase “au contraire mon Frere-Jones” is just hanging out there, waiting for someone to use it.
