If you’ll be in Portland for @typecon next month, I wholeheartedly encourage you to stop by this show of type and lettering work organized by my pal and tattoo artist, Travis Wheeler (who drew this promo and all its lettering).

Oh no! Saw the news this morning that Berlin’s magical Buchstabenmuseum is closing this October, after 20 years of efforts to keep its doors (in various sites) open. They are currently trying to find long-term storage for their incredible collection of signage remnants.

BUCHSTABENMUSEUM - Buchstäblich Berlin

Das Buchstabenmuseum ist das erste Museum weltweit, das Typografie aus dem öffentlichen Raum sammelt und als Teil der Stadtgeschichte präsentiert.

Aldo Novarese’s Stop lends itself to being customized. In 2008, @verbosus started a Flickr group dedicated to in-use examples of the display #typeface in which the letters have been customized: https://www.flickr.com/groups/customstop/

#FontsInUse has a growing collection of #CustomStop as well.
The latest addition is a sticker for The Pachinko Factory, contributed by @splorp: “The customization […] is delightful … especially the scattering of little #pachinko balls as design elements.” https://fontsinuse.com/uses/69205/the-pachinko-factory

Really lovely hand-painted sign in SE Portland

I just released my new font Soft Text on FutureFonts. If you've taken a workshop with me over the last handful of years, this is what the materials were set in—a gentle, easy to read, gently-contrasted sans. https://www.future-fonts.com/soft-type/soft-text?v=0.1
