Welcome to archetypical
The visual encyclopedia
Standard encyclopedias tell us factual tidbits about the people, places, and things that we encounter every day, but often fail to capture their real “feel”. That’s why this project will try to catalog all the elements – sights, smells, sounds, tastes, and feels/experiences – of a given subject, even if they aren’t strictly objective, tangible, or easily defined.
People
Human archetypes and historical characters that truly define their category
Places
These are the towns, cities, countries & regions that have a special feel unique to them
Things
This category covers everything else, from sports, to movies, to all the rest in between
