  • Lieber Flyerservice Hahn statt Wir-machen-Druck. Denn die drucken auch Großprojekte für die #ScheißAfD. Nicht nutzen!

  • Noooooooo! Flying Santa is already arriving ugh

  • @thomasfuchs — I just started reading Computer Power and Human Reason (libraries are awesome). Thanks for the recommendation!

  • I had a blast last night, going to a fantastic concert with my beloved of 30 years and hanging out at the merch table with my new (parasocial) BFF Linda Perry.

  • Brb, updating my résumé to note that I am empathetic, creative, and an animal lover

  • RE: https://mastodon.social/@wonderofscience/117493072861287769 Something just too incredibly cute not to quote into everyone’s timeline. Friends, let’s all start “rafting” a bit more. 🙂

  • Well, friends, now I’ve gone and done it. I’ve launched my own foundry and website. https://kltype.com Also: announcing the release of Haffner Text, a contemporary oldstyle with heft and substance, originally designed for TIME magazine and now available for retail license. And introducing Parling — a sort of Benton-meets-Verdana homage to quintessentially American sans-serifs, an industrious gothic with an affable personality. Boosts appreciated, especially those with reach beyond my tiny or...

  • The current Eurokickyball kerfuffle reminds me, very obliquely, of a series of tweets by iowahawk from 2024: “Olympic breakdancing illustrates how America invents a thing, then some dorkwads in France somehow appoint themselves as the Federation Internationale de Thing (FITHI) to control the rules of global thinging. And then FITHI moves their HQ to a chalet in Switzerland, with a whole governing council of corrupt Thing potentates from around [...] America: invents 500 genres of popular music...

  • Is the type found inside British passports just plain old Bembo or some kind of fancier Bembo?

  • The Rise and Fall of Rational Control by Harvey Mansfield, published by the Belknap Press at Harvard University in 2025, is an excellent specimen of Adobe Kis in use as body text, including the Caption size in the notes and index. I’d post it on Fonts In Use if I could figure out what the sans is on the dust jacket. https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674298859 https://assets.fonts.adobe.com/8t06wnuduvo9hkf0wpprcmhyfycr

  • I spotted this X post just now and immediately thought of @TiroTypeworks ’ Clairvo. https://x.com/beffjezos/status/2109207986782740686/photo/1

  • So come up to the lab. And see what’s on the slab. I see you shiver with antici…..

  • @slwstr czy kończy się dobrze dla postaci? Chętnie obejrzałabym coś ale przy obecnej sytuacji na świecie rozpadnę się na kawałki jeśli film walnie mnie łopatą tylko po to aby póżniej dać mi ją do kopania dółu.

  • Cloud chamber. I saw a bigger one for the first time a month ago at CERN during a tourist visit. I didn't know you could build it like that. I wish I were 15 so I could sit in my grandfather's workshop throughout the summer and work on something like that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDrznoU0nGw

  • I am delighted to have discovered EMbox electronics: https://www.emboxindia.com

  • text-proof now supports multi-column output! I made this proof with the following command: text-proof -c al3 -a -l 2 Chidori-Medium.otf - c al3 # character set Adobe Latin-3 - a # “all” – use the whole character set (show each character at least once) - l 2 # two columns text-proof (and many other @drawBot -based proofing scripts) are available here: https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/drawBotProofing
