  “Because once you are curious about capitalism you must reject the bargain: if the price of the comfort of the few is the immiseration of the many then the price is too damn high. It is the skill of reading that hones that curiosity, sharpens our ability to notice what is before us, what is real and what is not, which bargains are fair and which are usurious. Reading is how we attend the world, which is also how we change it.” https://aworkinglibrary.com/writing/umyazu

  “There’s no faster path to burnout than the stubborn refusal to admit defeat: you learn to recognise quality much sooner than you can achieve it.” https://mass-driver.com/article/md-ui-a-typeface-for-interfacing

  I love this book from @letterformarchive ❤️ but I will say that as a fairly petite woman, it is physically difficult for me to read & maneuver it 😅 https://letterformarchive.org/shop/lettres-decoratives

  “There is a particular relief that comes with finding your niche. Not the market segment kind. The kind where the granularity of your thinking stops registering as excessive and becomes, simply, the floor.” I *love* this dek. A cogent and exquisitely written recap of the Fontstand conference by Mikina Dimunova: https://fontstand.com/news/design-news/the-granularity-of-origin-fontstand-in-berlin

  So-called AI is an environmental issue, a labor issue, and an ideological issue. That’s it. I will die on this hill. We should push back as much as we can.

  So much talk these days of the American “empire” unraveling and American hegemony unraveling and I’m just walking around muttering, “Good, good!”

  I’m not sure why – maybe it’s the general tenor of the times, maybe it’s my inner landscape, maybe it’s both – but for some reason I’m remembering this wonderful essay by Helen Rosner. Edited by Jess Zimmerman. https://medium.com/the-archipelago/not-everyone-feels-this-way-7e21574a2dfd

  I’m interested in the institutional memory of the internet.

  In the early days of the commercial web, iVillage was a hugely important place for me. It was a space by and for women. I would love an oral history of iVillage. I wonder if anyone has written about it 🤔

  I occasionally (often?) talk about stuff that is not exclusively type-related. But for me type is so integral to absolutely every aspect of life that it never occurred to me not to be interested in and curious about everything.

  I’ve always appreciated underground, IYKYK, supper-club energy.

  I’m wary of how things get normalized; I’m wary of how things harden into norms.

  Write in a way that feels true to you. There is no “right” way. There is no magic bullet beyond care, and honesty, and trying.

  Sorry to be so cringe.

  Blistering words from Lawrence Wilkerson on Democracy Now this morning; worth a listen. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/3/10/lawrence_wilkerson

  I live in a largely immigrant neighborhood. Lately I’ve been doing some community work that involves signal groups and whistles and meeting in church basements—and also getting vetted. During a recent one-on-one an organizer asked me what had radicalized me and unthinkingly I blurted, “Monotype buying FontShop.”

  Aw, this is just sad. Sometimes it feels like the world is turning into a giant casino.

  This morning I got a notification from Mastodon via email, subject line: “Updates to our terms of service.” My body automatically tensed up, because usually this portends enshittification, but then I relaxed: https://typo.social/terms-of-service/2026-04-01 Thank you, typo.social team 👏

  Being a synesthete means that certain things remind me of certain other things, and the connections aren’t necessarily obvious. Terza Reader’s italic makes me think of soapstone. I love the hard softness of it. https://terza.commercialtype.com
