Been pondering for a while... At ATypI in Paris, the book designer Corina Cotoroba pointed out to me that historically the cedilla form of Romanian diacritics was quite common, and the behaviour of modern fonts forcing the comma-like form is too restrictive.
These lacunae are in fact the silhouettes of extinct animal species, wiped out by human activity within my own lifetime. Their absence undermines the meaning and integrity of the text: 2/5
Good morning! New artist book just dropped: ANTHROPOCENE, BOOK I This portable manuscript recounts the six days of Creation as written in the Book of Genesis. But holes soon begin to appear in the pages and then multiply, making the text increasingly difficult to read... 1/5

@RobertM73487571 @lucernare It depends whether we’re talking about Christianity in England, or the Church of England. The tweet and the page it links to relentlessly conflates the two
Your periodic reminder that the Church of England came into existence at around 7am on 24 June 1559 send tweet
The Church of England is the established Christian church in England. Our roots go back to the time of the Roman Empire, when the church came into existence in what was then the province of Britain. Find out more about our history at cofe.io/OurHistory.
@arabictype Yet to delve into the details, but we (indie type designers) needed something like this. Excited to see how the community grows.
alright i see these claims about pāṇini reasonably often, but typically from questionable sources. otoh i know @aryaman2020 can back his shit up, so mind giving me a rundown of how the śiva sūtras actually work
Petersen (2004) showed using modern graph theory that this ordering was mathematically optimal -- can't make the list any shorter so it's no wonder that later grammarians referred to the list as the Śiva Sūtras, because there's no way a human being could have come up with them
W Windowsie 10 jest dosłownie zero fontów, które mogą zgrabnie wyświetlić ukraińskie litery ‹Іі› i ‹Її› z doklejonym znakiem akcentu, więc trzeba ściągnąć inne. Z moich ulubionych Brill (@TiroTypeworks) i Gentium (@silfonts) dają radę.
Please do not invite me to speak about digital transformation I’m embarrassing everyone 😭
Here's a fun feel-good graphic I made for a talk
jeez, none of the above. i would interpret it as "Ben is currently not drunk". need some habitual be up in here
If I said “Ben is sober,” would your first interpretation be: 1. Ben was an alcoholic who got sober 2. Ben used to drink but quit (not necessarily for overuse reasons) 3. Ben may have previously drank but also could have never drank
I just received my new passport. It looks black to me, but may be very very very very dark blue, like a priest’s socks.
@TiroTypeworks Yes, I will be meeting him shortly.
It’s also a call-to-attention on the directionality biases that exist in design. To invite other design sensibilities that hold true to African writing systems in relation to their diverse history of both handwriting/“chirographic” (Ong, W.1982) and calligraphy traditions.
