"On a little excursion to Bali, I came across some lovely colorful typography. Pretty much all signs on the side of the road, in temples, restaurants or shops are still hand-painted, carved or “made” in some other form.

The reason for a lot of these signs being hand rendered is unclear, they could not be aware of computer software which will produce their signs, they could not have access to it, or they might just not be interested in using computers. They have created signs which are perfectly coherent, individual and eye catching.
