I feel the same here in Vienna, which has so much fascinating typography in the streets, its really quite inspiring.

I've long wanted to do some kind of google-streetmaps style photography project, taking pictures of all the types to be found in the nooks and cranny of the city, some of which go back centuries. I'd imagine having such a collection of Vienna City Types would be quite interesting to throw at some AI and produce real working fonts.

For typography nerds, cities such as Vienna and Berlin offer so much inspiration, although I would wager the distribution and density is better in Vienna, than Berlin - due simply to the fact that Berlin has a lot more space than Vienna does.
