What Words Used to Look Like

If Rumpus readers have one thing in common, it’s that we all love words—their meanings, their sounds, even their shapes.

If you have a particular affection for the way words look, you might enjoy TypeHunting, a collection of pictures of vintage typography.

Some of our favorites include Sears Roebuck and Co. nitro powder (“harmful or fatal if swallowed”) and Wolverine Launderette. (Via.)
