After ‘collecting’ some examples of French signage (an example of which can be seen above) whilst on a recent holiday, I discovered the online collection of vernacular typography, lettering & signage assembled on the Jules Vernacular website.

This collection has been carefully collected and assembled by Jack Usine and is a complementary project of Smeltery, Factory’s type foundry, that creates typefaces inspired by this heritage.
