@SignsTheReading @corkarchives You’re the ball as usual. This from his heritage website: “An ode to the owner’s wife and possibly a peace offering, it was carved by Hadrian Broadley and is quite unusual in that it’s a head stone with a cut known as ‘Cork Cap’, something especially reserved for clergy.”
@SignsTheReading hi, are you familiar with the inscription on the gable end of Sin É? I’m looking to source who carved it or when it was produced. Perhaps @corkarchives might know something?
@EliseGravel hi there, I love your work and positivity. Is there a girls version of this poster also? Thanks 🙏
@BornaIz Big congratulations Borna! 👊

The 2020 group did excellent work despite the challenges of the year. Here their practical outputs only; their research work was overall superb by any measure. 2020.typefacedesign.net/index.html

@GillyClarkeMCFC It’s for an exact reason - you can’t copyright ‘FOREST’ but you can copyright ‘FOReST’ hence why they did it back in the 70’s when they changed the badge.

Why the fuck is the E lowercase? It’s really annoying.

Preparing for an online class today, our 1780 copy of Dr Jonson's famous Dictionary opened on this word by chance. We NEVER comment on politics and this should not be read as applying to anything happening in the world this very day. It's just dull old history and etymology.

As Ireland Country Delegates to @ATypI, we'll be giving a presentation at this year's ATypI virtual conference (bit.ly/34YaTKb) on the last 5 years in Irish type & typography. So, we need your help: remind us of all the amazing things that have happened here since 2015!
@alicerawsthorn @SM_Typ Who has time for typography experiments when hiding in the woods from nazis
The only question that matters.
Which website has the best reading experience? (Or, said differently, what is one website you find yourself reading for long periods of time without interruption?)
