To be absolutely honest, I wasn't exactly sure what vernacular typography was until this workshop! It turned out to be pretty cool! We were told to take imagery that represented elephant and castle and to make typefaces out of the things we found!
I began messing around with a brick wall and a couple of letters from a shopfront. When I got home I began getting really creative but I'm afraid I'm not going to spoil the surprise! I'll post it after we hand in the books!
This typeface was drawn by a colleague of mine. I really like it's realness and how it really did portray the area well.
