The Gables
An apartment building in the knob hill section of san francisco. It's encouraging to see that hand lettering is not dead. Better still that it's lettering that looks torn out of an Edward Gorey cartoon. Particularly nice touches include the capital `T' turning into a horizontal rule framing the top of the word `the', the nice humanist incline on the counter of the lowercase`e', and the exaggerated curve on the `S' in `Gables' which ends up making some of the whitespace in the lower-left corner feel much less glaringly empty.
