Question for the CSS wizards out there: Is there a way to use CSS grid (or any pure CSS technique, really) to force the height of an element to snap to multiples of a number *based on the content*? This post describes basically what I want: stackoverflow.com/questions/7032…
That feeling when someone you respect announces a shift away from Twitter in favor of Mastodon, and when you go to follow their account there you realize … you already do. 😎 The number of people I enjoyed following on Twitter who haven’t moved to Mastodon grows smaller daily.
Happy solstice everyone. If you’re using Mastodon, you can follow HEX there too: typo.social/@HEX
That feeling of validation when other people can still find and enjoy your nerdy photos from over 10 years ago because the photos are on Flickr.

To coax people over to Mastodon I’ve been posting lots of fun stuff there: old books, custom type by Armin Hofmann & @pentagram, posters from @cghnyc, gravestones with some of the earliest sans-serif English-language lettering I know, etc. Come on over: typo.social/@nicksherman

I do not give a flying FUCK about Fonts... Weirdo shit.
@FINALLEVEL Ice, what is with this FONT?! Love you man but come on, use Impact font.
@NickSherman @nuformtype This is amazing! Thank you for sharing! I feel like crackled signs are actually such a fun way to think about type architecture—the places where things crack seem to really align with where you have "stress" points on the letter visually / where uprights meet, etc.
@nuformtype @NickSherman Oh, trust me, I am a *frequent* visitor to Nick's Flickr album of smiling suns!!
Nuform Sketchbook: Pg.1 - I love a vinyl sign transformed by the elements. A once legible San Serif mutates itself into a heavy metal logo. The itch of curiosity persuaded me to draw an alphabet inspired by these sun warped forms. I'll leave this idea here to collect dust.
Lisa talked about sharing in the type-community for @PAGEmag. So cool to be on one page with Promphan Suksumek, who talks about the different resources for learning, @NickSherman, talking about several projects he is part of, @PixelAmbacht, about sharing his tools open source.

A true bucket list moment: this week I was quoted for an article about the best niche bookstores in my all time favorite magazine, @NYMag! (For inquiring minds, other unmentioned favorites are Sweet Pickle Books, Westsider Books, Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks, & Alabaster Bookshop)
Ukrainian Unity Day 🇺🇦 105 years ago, on January 22, Ukrainians proclaimed the independence of their state and created Ukrainian National Republic, and exactly one year later the Unification Act of UNR and WUNR (West Ukrainian National Republic) took place.
I will absolutely not be watching this, but if you're interested in the creative process of putting together @PitmagazineUK and @_thecheesemag then have a peak! It was a JOY to do this with some of my favourite collaborators
As a treat to combat those January blues, we have just published the fantastic lecture on making #magazines, given by @hollycatford @robertbillingto @ReenaMakwana @SarahCliffIllo @wendy_w0ng in June 2022. You can watch here: youtu.be/o-XgCFaRheQ Happy viewing!
Remember my "typecasting" articles, about anachronistic type and lettering in movies? I haven't posted one to my blog in almost ten years. I think I figured out why: marksimonson.com/notebook/view/…

This is definitely up there in favorite project town. I designed the main title for the upcoming “Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret.” film and a couple of days ago was at a press event making custom journals for attendees. People FLIPPED.

It’s finally that time. Watch the official trailer for Are You There God? #ItsMeMargaret – only in theaters April 28.
