Today I learned there is a pair of font-themed high-rise apartment buildings in Queens, named The Bold (https://boldanditalic.com/bold/) and The Italic (https://boldanditalic.com/italic/).

Of course they are marketed with pun-filled copywriting, like “your type of place”, “where luxury and style are written boldly”, and “amenities that put an exclamation point on ease”.

The Bold & The Italic
@nicksherman Disappointing to see that The Italic isn't leaning over at an oblique angle. A real wasted opportunity!
@shadychars Also disappointing to see the design for a building called The Italic is suffering from a case of artificially slanted italics.
@nicksherman Although I feel that this is on brand, somehow.
@nicksherman wow I seriously considered moving to LIC just now
@nicksherman four thousand dollars a month for their smallest studio 🫠
