Step away from the screens and into a world of carved letters — Green-Wood Cemetery.Green-Wood Cemetery Lettering Walk is a guided tour through Brooklyn’s historic Green-Wood Cemetery, where the headstones and mausoleums serve as open-air archives of typographic and lettering history.Founded in 1838, this historic Brooklyn cemetery is home to generations of New Yorkers and an extraordinary range of carved lettering and ornamented inscriptions that reveal how design conventions shift over time. On this guided walk, we’ll focus on 18th and 19th century gravestones with attention to craft and typographic detail.Whether you’re a letterform obsessed designer, a vernacular typography enthusiast, or just curious about how we commemorate life through design, this tour invites you to see the cemetery as both a site of reflection and a museum of letterforms.
