type tuesday: typographic spam

Mr. Edwards recently emailed to share his typographic collages with us:

“It is made up of bits of found type and images from my collection of vintage magazines. I don’t like to cut them up, as they have survived for so long so I scan them all in. They are the 20th century equivalent of today’s spam mail. I like the ambiguity of these snippets of type taken out of context, it makes a kind of Dada poetry. I find it quite mesmerising. I think it should be pasted on subway station walls and at bus stops to pass the time while waiting for public transport.”
