  RE: https://typo.social/@jaf/116675372411996691 👀 Easily in my top three of best books on type design. Happy to see a new edition in the works. If you don’t have it already, make sure to secure a copy. More info on Tim & Shoko’s website: https://justanotherfoundry.com/size-specific-adjustments-to-type-designs

  Another useful thing bites the dust. Monotype apparently has discontinued the WhatTheFont forum, after nearly 19 years and half a million solved cases, and without communicating the decision to the community of tireless volunteers: “They seem to have in a haphazardous way shut us down.”—Jackie https://www.myfonts.com/pages/wtf-case?case=1688039/ Old entries are still up, but new cases can no longer be posted. Via @akira1975 See http://fontid.co/ for an alternative @FontID forum.

  Bittersweet mood at Berlin’s #Buchstabenmuseum today, with lots of folks paying a last visit before it closes for good. https://www.buchstabenmuseum.de/en/visit/ The museum is looking for long-term storage for its collection. You can support it by donating: https://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/118807-rettung-gebauter-schriftzuege #Berlin #lettering #letters #signs #typography

  My favorite use of PLINC’s Caruso Roxy: the covers for a series of creative activity books by Grace Mintonye and James E. Seidelman, published by Crowell-Collier Press from 1967 on. See all of seven on @FontsInUse: https://fontsinuse.com/uses/42135/creating-book-series-by-james-e-seidelman-and #BookCovers #crafts #MidCentury #1960s #fonts #FontsInUse
