🚨 INCREDIBLY HELPFUL TIP ALERT 🚨
Gets dad out of the house for a while so mum can relax as she sees fit
Honestly, the process must be even more intensely scrutinized by lawyers than font naming
She did that with Princeton itself?
Incredible, but I'm also concerned about the sanitary situation of that keyboard to his right
Poster for Crime 101, with its title design compared to how it would look in a different typeface.
I know that I’m biased but I honestly think Ringold Clarendon would have been a stronger choice here. bijoutype.com/typefaces/ri...
Oh, if we’re doing culty movies:
• Hairspray (original)
• Paris Is Burning
• Wet Hot American Summer
• The Living End
• Airplane!
I saw Nile Rogers a couple of years ago, and his set was simply a non-stop roster of mind-blowing hits. It was actually insulting that he was an opening act playing to a half-empty arena waiting for Duran Duran.
Star Wars
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Airplane
(I’m 👴)
The Welliver set-up at Hand &
Eye was my first exposure to this incredible hack. It blew my mind to think the keyboard and rolls of paper tape would turn out to be the obsolete parts of the Monotype system.
I’m genuinely more patriotic about American bacon than I am about America itself. (That’s a low bar, granted.)
Half the reason I finally moved back home

I occasionally complain about BB being a spoiled diva, knowing full well who spoiled her.
This clip features Sir Ian’s incredible Shakespearean monologue that’s rightly getting a lot of traction today, but you should really watch it for the discussion about what makes live theater so thrilling and powerful. youtu.be/2l2RqzVG4ag?...

I had a nice podcast chat with @signaltype.bsky.social recently, and we got nerdy podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...
Algorithms have failed artists, so once again I am appealing to the wealthy to go back to the practice of patronising artists so you can brag that your sicko is better than your rival’s sicko
Decades, in fact!
This is a lot like when Adobe (in one of my final acts there) finally pulled the plug on Type 1 support: YEARS AND YEARS of advance warning!
Note: I say this as someone who also loves all the recent Trek. I just want more of each one! I love longer stretches for character development and world-building.
Hi there, fellow white people (especially my fellow white dudes)! It's Black History Month, and all of us who have lived in the privilege bubble our entire lives should get educated! Every day this month, 28daysofblackhistory.com drops a new story in your inbox. Every single one of them is amazing.
The whole “Heated Rivalry” media frenzy is a great chance for people to learn the subtle distinctions between Canadian and American accents — if just because the word “out” comes up so much.
If this is your cup of prosecco, maybe you might like to join us for TipoItalia this summer: www.tipoitalia.net
(Part-time, remote, at Reading.)
I guess this is the right moment to mention that I’m starting a PhD in a couple of months.
