Eggtype

Around 1987 or 1988, when I was a student at the North Carolina State University School of Design, I took Polaroids of type and lettering on my family's hatching egg farm in North Carolina. The "2" and "3" were stencils I cut years before to number the chicken houses, and they remind me of the typeface Balance. Good hatching eggs went into the sturdy waxed cardboard boxes with numbers stenciled on them.
