‘Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, …

There’s still time to register for my online Python for Visual Designers workshop for Type@Cooper @coopertype@typo.social Thursdays 6.30–9.30pm US Eastern from 26 March–14 May (8 weeks). You’ll learn the basics of creative coding and how to draw and manipulate vector shapes and raster images and set type with Python code in the free MacOS application DrawBot. We’ll work with variable fonts and make some basic animations as well—and work together on some larger projects too, like this animation of @letterror@typo.social Erik van Blokland’s LTR NCND, which is very definitely not Trixie.

I see this book got some well-deserved love on @FontsInUse@typo.social but Thomas’s wonderul Minérale to one side: I just finished reading it, and I can’t praise it highly enough. The phrase tour de force can be overused, but it’s perfectly apt here. Even if you think you aren’t that interested in the interconnections of global music: you are.

Bonus: Boyd himself reads the audiobook, and it’s a treat.
