My awesome wife watched the video of me reciting foundry names and said it reminded her of this scene from Father Ted:
Apologies for the vertical format — I made this video to please the Instagram algorithm — but it took too bloody long to edit to *not* post it here, too.
If you’ve been curious to know which type foundries have their work in Fine Specimens, here’s me reading them all out, with their logos overlaid.
For folks looking to get (back) into blogging, or get a super-simple personal site up and running, Pagecord (created by @lylo, one of the founders of FreeAgent) looks interesting. It’s giving me 2010-ish vibes and I mean that entirely as a compliment.
The first issue of the book tour pop-up newsletter is going out tomorrow!
It covers Tuesday’s launch event in Bristol and some motivations behind the tour in general. Sign up here if you fancy following along:
Huge thanks to PRINT for the big ol’ “Type Tuesday” feature on Fine Specimens! Deb asked some really great questions and I had a great time answering them.

I can hardly believe the day has finally come, but I’m beyond thrilled to say that my new book is… out! In theory, if you walk into a bookstore today, you should be able to buy or a least order Fine Specimens.
I’ve just published a post on the blog about the book, the book tour, and the book tour newsletter. The tour kicks off tonight!

It’s book pub week! Tomorrow is the first date on the Fine Specimens UK / EU book tour, and that means it’s also the start of the pop-up newsletter I’m writing for the duration of the tour. Care to lend me your email address and join me on this trip?
(Also, who’s coming to the Bristol event tomorrow?)
