goat numbers


we're revisiting the state fair, because its too good to pass up and not share. The day i went to the fair happened to be the day the goats were judged on however you judge a goat.
When i saw their numbers i just about fainted. I sometimes forget all the beautiful ways typography can be applied. Not to say that these are particularly good characters, but their styling really isnt too bad.
Especially the 4 on 34, its a really great strong roman character. The slight inward curve of the left stem is what i really love, so beautiful.

  1. I wonder how those were put on.. stencils? Heh, I think they are nifty looking... I wonder if the goats enjoy being adorned with such numbers!

  2. typBAAAAAAAAAAAgraphy! bwahahaha

    Imagine graduating in with a BA in Graphic Design and having your job to critique goat letters.
    The funny thing is that in reality that probably wouldn't be the worst job you can get in that field!
