Ever notice how tinned fish packaging goes unnecessarily hard? There’s a reason.

Good design doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built through history, constraint, and intention.

Drop your favorite tinned fish packaging in the comments, and maybe soon you`ll see it in our museum!

Grateful to The Daily Heller for featuring Typographic Objects this week.

What started with a suitcase of curious typographic packaging has grown into a living museum of everyday letterforms from around the world.

Thank you, Steve Heller, for the generous spotlight.

I’d love to connect with researchers, writers, and curators who are interested in exploring typographic artifacts and cultural storytelling together. Reach out if that’s you.
