Forgotten New York

FLUSHING MEADOWS SIGNS

About 25 years ago, special signs were commissioned by the NYC Parks department for Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.

Whereas other parks use squarish, brown signs with Palatino lettering and the leaf design in gold leaf, FMCP has a deluxe edition in multicolors. The (indeterminate) leaf and the Palatino font are still in place, but this is a vert thick variety of Palatino that I suspect is a computerized version and not the bold cut version (the serifs are thinner).
