#SpotifyWrapped confirmed my obsession (yikes 0.05%)😅 but seriously more people should be listening to @ShakeyGraves . Seeing All Red is the soundtrack to my life! open.spotify.com/artist/1fZp…

Thanks Sean Rowe for spending 512 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Newton's Cradle. #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/artist/0h8q…
Sophie makes extraordinary things. Beautifully crafted and considered. If you’re into disco or eggs (or ace humans) check out @SophieElinor and her latest project
Just in case anyone needs them, I spent two weeks making a very small batch of disco eggs. Free shipping to anywhere: etsy.com/au/listing/12905705…

Excellent thread visually documenting @rileycran’s career progression, with self reflection on the progression milestones. Happy Birthday Riley and thank you for sharing!
Today I am 30 years old. To celebrate, I’m going to do something I wouldn’t normally do: I’m going to talk about the work I made in the last 10 years. I’m honestly a bit shy to share all of this older work, but frankly I’d like to remind myself of how I spent that time.

WAD’s home-made corrugated cardboard press was all he needed for decent register in printing multiple colors. In the press: marionette ticket, c. 1934. Black was printed letterpress via line cut, colors then added via this stencil press.

Excellent and informative thread on counterforms. A must read for anyone Typo-curious. Also a great illustration of the thoughtfulness and craft in Really Sans. Ace work @rileycran
Today I would like to do a thread about 'counterforms.' They are a critical building block of typeface design... but what are they? How do they work? I'll also talk about how I thought of the counterforms in Really Sans.
