I missed the past two NYC Typographic Walking Tours by Tobias Frere-Jones. It’s such a tease whenever I get the AIGA’s email announcements. Because once I check the site to register, they’re always sold out. Fortunately, Mr. Jason Santa Maria kindly posted some of his photos from the tour on Flickr.
