TORONTO TYPE

It looks like this sign was patched up in the past, but the concrete has chipped away, leaving the cracks exposed. Is that fluorescent mark a placeholder for the next repair?

The lettering, composed of hexagonal tiles, is bumpy-edged yet completely legible. It’s somehow dignified and goofy all at once.

This sign is like a weathered face with a mysterious scar. You want it to speak and tell you its story.
