@Okay @ryan Finally, Radim Peško referred to Eric Gill as an “anonymous sign writer” 🙄 – Dear Sir/Madam is the project I’m thinking of.

I’ve sat on a revival of a relatively obscure typeface for years, feeling I didn’t yet know enough about the original designer or context. A very close revival was released—presented as an original work, with no visible citation of the source.

It’s left me thinking about how territorial the type community can be, shown both in the omission of source material (implicitly claiming another designer’s work), and, admittedly, in my own frustration at seeing it released.

Cite your sources!

Really enjoyed the first day of ILT’s Font Business Conference! Interesting topics and many of the speakers shared insights you might not hear easily otherwise. Congrats to Nadine Chahine and the team at @ilovetypography for pulling this off.

'Someone stole my BBC bike in the Hague - it's like losing a friend'

Anna Holligan transformed her bike into a mobile studio for the BBC in the Netherlands - now it has vanished.

Trek de rode lijn!

De tijd om je alleen te informeren en toe te zien is voorbij. Laat actief zien dat je tegen #genocide bent en trek een rode lijn.

Spreek je uit, want:

"Zwijgen is geen neutraliteit. Zwijgen is medeplichtigheid."

Zondag 18 mei in Den Haag.
Verzamelen op het Malieveld om 13:00 uur.

Here’s a bit more. Together it’s 2 mobile phones, 2 generations of iPads, 2 iPods, and 3 generations of iPhones. Most of them with dead batteries. Looking for good recycle options now.
