if I can, I always prefer to buy directly from the maker, the farmer, the developer

Attached: 1 image Until about 1994, most Emigre fonts were sold on floppy disks. (Later, they were provided on CDs.) Orders for fonts were placed by phone or fax, and disks were sent out by FedEx or UPS.

Oh, my, these Olivetti Valentine typewriters…
Show threadJason Santa Maria2d ago
@Luke I’ve always wanted to get one of those!
Show threadLuke Dorny2d ago
@jasonsantamaria You can now at retrospekt!
Show threadJason Santa Maria2d ago
@Luke That may be a good price for being in such good shape... but also more than I want to spend on something I will probably let gather dust after a few weeks 😂
Show threadLuke Dorny2d ago

@jasonsantamaria true.

…until power and internet go down and we start sending thoughtful letters to eachother just to check in …delivered via horseback?
I suppose that’s an entirely different set of concerns. 😬

@Luke @jasonsantamaria So you’re saying I need a typewriter *and* a horse.
Show threadJason Santa Maria2d ago
@bw @Luke I like that you went straight past pen and pencil 😂
Show threadLuke Dorny2d ago
@jasonsantamaria @bw Ha! That’s true, too!
Let’s remember that pen and pencil are chaotic and unreliable now that we’ve used computer keyboards for fifty years.
Show threadJason Santa Maria2d ago
@Luke @bw So true! I mean, my illegible handwriting is probably the biggest problem anyway :D
Show threadLuke Dorny2d ago
@jasonsantamaria @bw it’s not like when I was a drafting school. That much is for true.
Show threadLuke Dorny2d ago
@jasonsantamaria @bw perhaps now is a good time to make my own handwriting typeface. 🧐
Show threadTheo Rosendorf2d ago

@jasonsantamaria @Luke @bw I've been taking longhand notes for some months. It was painful at first. But I retain more ideas, easily over double. Something in the inconvenience of it?

I'm eying that typewriter. Bet it's inconvenient AF, I must have it!

Show threadJason Santa Maria2d ago
@theo @Luke @bw Nice! I take longhand notes too for the same reasons and love it. Though I really want to take some time out to resuscitate my handwriting.
Show threadTheo Rosendorf2d ago
@jasonsantamaria @Luke @bw Mine is so bad, it's comical.
Show threadLuke Dorny2d ago
@theo @jasonsantamaria @bw same-o. Resuscitate is the correct word, for sure.

@Luke @jasonsantamaria @bw And there's this great book by @mwichary

Shift Happens: A book about keyboards

Shift Happens tells the story of keyboards like no book ever before, covering 150 years from the early typewriters to the pixellated keyboards in our pockets.

@theo @jasonsantamaria @bw @mwichary I fought so hard to not let myself buy this. I did back it though. 🙌❤️
Show threadLuke Dorny2d ago
@bw @jasonsantamaria ha! Say! You could even bring this manual typewriter *with* you… on the horse!
Show threadAnthony Baker2d ago

@jasonsantamaria @Luke But your fingers would get SO BUFF from the typing.

Also, if you have kids you can blow their minds at how much strength a person used to need to press those keys.

Show threadLuke Dorny2d ago
@AnthonyBaker @jasonsantamaria that is a really great point. Nowadays keyboard enthusers talk about micronometric pressure used on current key switches, meanwhile
