Type Journal Week 2

This image, that I found on Pintrest (pinned by design enthusiast Mitchell Kraft), has many different kinds of type that all seem to fit well together. Some of the letters have serifs, like "music" and "pain" while others do not, such as "hits you." There is even some script type. I really react to this combination of typography because each line seems to have its own personality and impact, making each word seem meaningful. The differing typefaces and sizes are also reminiscent of the late 19th century advertisements that had many different typefaces and varied sizes to command attention in urban spaces.
