I'm definitely no expert on typographical metadata but the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of ACRL, an ALA division, has several controlled vocabularies including Type Terms:Sherman ClarkeAlfred, NYDear ARLIS,
I have a request from a researcher working on archiving material related to Nevada's neon signs. They are looking for Typography metadata standards or classification systems. Would anyone have any advice/leads?
More about the project
Northern Nevada Neon is an archiving and design history project to preserve, document, and showcase the unique neon type collection contained within the neon signs in the northern region of the state of Nevada. These signs collectively represent an American Western modernist type tradition that combines aesthetics and heritage from the mythology of the American West with modernist type traditions from Europe that filtered into the area from New York and Los Angeles in the early twentieth century.
Many thanks and be well,Janice Hussain, Digital Imaging Specialist
