name that blog


I'm working on a type blog about found/public typography in urban (or rural) settings. You know, like posters, 3d signage, graffiti, door numbers etc....

I'm having a hard time coming up with a name that isn't super lame. Here is what I have so far:

visitype
typefinding
typefind
citizentype
typesight

All pretty lamo (I don't mind the first one). Maybe I need to get off the word "type"
Let me know if you guys think of anything better or like any of the ones listed. I'll give you mad props if you come up with something and a free beer!

...Once I figure out the name, I'm going to ask for submissions, so dig around and see if you have any found type images and send 'em my way.

letterbox
fresh
wet paint
architype

typotage
open window

My two cents:

kern soup
type-finder
concrete type
type stop
font parade

Ok I'll stop
