This has been everywhere lately, and that’s a good thing! So I’m jumping onto the bandwagon and posting it here for (my own little corner of the web’s) posterity’s sake. Backstory here.

Helvetica Empire

I found this brilliant little piece of street art just outside of the Mont-Royal metro station last week. Not only is it incredibly intriguing as an object (a doorway…), but seriously, what are the chances that it would have been found by a typophile such as myself? In the middle of the night. And in a foul, searching mood to boot (the interior inscription by the arrow reads “for the broke(n) hearted”). Small miracles, I guess. Cat simply couldn’t believe it…

Some casual googling led to this gallery, but not much other info. Anyone know about this work? I’d love to know the provenance and backstory.
