Typography , Nostalgia & Location



These days , when every little spot is covered by magazines , blogs and smartphones ,you'd think that it's impossible to discover a treasure , just like this ,in the middle of town.


But I have.


As I was walking yesterday to a meeting on Alenbi st. I saw a small peculiar window.


I couldn't make up my mind if it is old or new.


So I walked in and found this amazing stamps shop , owned by the grand daughter of Mr . Gottesgenade , stamp - makers .





The shop was originally opened in 1921 and luckily enough kept most of the original tools and stamps .
