Our Type is an ‘ongoing photographic project documenting the disappearing shopfronts, signage and typography of Ireland’s towns and villages’.
Designer and photographer Trevor Finnegan, started the project to celebrate the uniqueness of these beautiful and intricate stores.
He says: “Across Ireland, we have many towns and villages that retain their rich traditions of vernacular signage. Unfortunately, the fate of these shopfronts is being threatened by the uniformity of the corporate multi national stores, which ignores and subverts local history and tradition”.
