Upper/lowercase Living

Spotted on the trip back from Pittsburgh. I understand that they think the name “uppercase living” set in lower case letters is cute, but it it is jarring when trying to make sense of the phrase, and understanding the history behind what uppercase and lowercase means in typographic terms. This business is just one of the many other pyramid-type-schemes to make money off of others holding vinyl ‘decor’ parties.
trueindigo did a great job taking this photo in a moving vehicle, and nabbing Bondi Printing Center in the background to boot!
