I'm a developer/designer/typographer. I have more than a passing interest in #Roxette. Some would call it an obsession, but I don't.

Nobody on LinkedIn has ever had a bad day. Every setback is a "growth opportunity." Every firing is a "new chapter." Every complete professional disaster is framed as "excited to announce." These people would describe the Titanic as "a bold pivot to submarine operations."

I’ve been working on a revival of Clearface by Morris Fuller Benton for a few months and recently found some better quality ATF specimen books scans.

My initial goal is to release it with the same glyph coverage as General Gothic, but my long term plan is to adapt it for use alongside the superior HEX Franklin by @nicksherman with matching metrics for a long-form, long-term book project I’m working on.

Its working title is Routine Roman, but we’ll see if that sticks.

As an aside, I find the difference between the amount of instrumentation behind Marie and Per’s vocals quite interesting. In general, hers has very little while his is very busy. There’s also so much that we don’t hear when their vocals are there, and these versions are a great way to experience the music anew.

I love Roxette’s music, but wanted something less distracting for background music. I bought credits for a stem splitter and created instrumental versions of all their studio albums, but didn’t stop there and also created artwork to go along with each album. Because, of course, I have so much time on my hands. The result is this collection of their albums’ original artwork with Marie, Per and #Roxette removed, leaving them all Sans Roxette. They're not perfect, but they're fine for this purpose.

To those who hate it when someone posts a news article as an Apple News link, stop posting Flipboard links.

Instead, please take the extra few seconds to get the link to the source article and post it.

Flipboard doesn’t need the clicks; Apple News doesn’t need the clicks.

Is @manta still being developed? The last beta has expired and no new build has been announced yet.

@erica I never regret it. Just a matter of recognizing it comes at the cost of not watching new things.
