At CreativeMornings/Berlin, typography enthusiast Stephen Coles spoke about his Chromeography project, an online archive of chrome lettering affixed to vintage automobiles and electric appliances. These unsung metal emblems and badges are usually overlooked, forgotten, damaged, lost to time or the dump. If you’re an automobile or type enthusiast, you’ll fall in love with these images of old and new chrome lettering.
