Amazing. The man who wrote the BBC News theme has put lots of mixes onto your favourite streaming platform. Search for “BBC News: Official Themes” in Spotify, Apple, YT Music etc.

I’ve been wondering who would revive the relatively unknown Stempel typeface, Information (and its predecessor Reform-Grotesk). Fortunately, it is Pierre Pané-Farré and Forgotten Shapes: https://forgotten-shapes.com/information

See also his deep research on the project, including the suggestion that Walter Käch was inspired by Reform: https://forgotten-shapes.com/information?article=reform-grotesk-and-information-2 This would mean the typeface is an unexpected part of Univers’s lineage.

You know how I guessed recruiting would be easy? I have put two candidates into interview processes, averaging four hours per candidate (two with the employer to get details, two with the candidate for a social + gentle pair programming session).

That's an INSANE speed compared to the industry. Recruiters really are exactly as easy to own as they appear to be. AhahahahaHAHAHAHAHA death has come for you

From 1929 to 1961, the Inland Printer ran a regular “Typographic Scoreboard” column tallying up the typefaces used on full-page ads in major magazines such as “The Saturday Evening Post“ & “Vogue”. The author (uncredited in early editions) was J. L. Frazier, one of the 20th century’s best chroniclers of type history.

We (or someone?) should put this data into graphical form showing how typefaces rose and fell in popularity over those 30 years.

Wow, kuddos to RustDesk for the default warning on top their website!  

TeamViewer and other remote software should do this also

"WARNING: YOU MAY BE BEING SCAMMED!
