of course the shovel sellers will tell you it’s inevitable, even as the promised flood of gold nuggets is nowhere to be seen

Awesome to see anti-war protesters marching through the neighborhood here in Tokyo just now. I love my neighborhood. And I love the creative sculpture they are pulling on a cart to make their point. Signs read “戦争反対” (anti-war)

I enjoyed this one from The Hard Times: “Visionary Photographer Tells Band to Look as Bored as Possible ”

Here's a flyer I made for a show tonight in Tokyo, using a few style from my typeface Counterpress 🍏

I really like the latest album by Jack Name, especially the closing track: https://jackname.bandcamp.com/track/the-devil-comes-inside

Some images from my talk last week on my typeface Velzyland and the tools that shaped it. Thanks again to TypeLab @Typographics@typo.social for having me and thanks to everyone who watched in-person and online. I especially appreciated the questions folks asked at the end and the conversations we had afterwards. It’s wonderful that events like this can be streamed globally but also there’s nothing that beats the face to face interactions when possible ❤️

I really enjoyed taking this survey:

The framing of “deterministic automation” (eg algorithms) vs “non-deterministic automation” (eg. Machine Learning or “AI”) was super helpful. Maybe I’m not looking in the right places but I haven’t seen much nuanced framing like this elsewhere. And it was interesting for me to think through my actual feelings about different forms of automation for specific tasks🤖

When I first purchased a license for @HEX@typo.social Franklin it was already a deal for the original 20 styles. It’s the best digital version of Franklin Gothic I’ve ever used, so even a single style would be worth it.

But because of the @futurefonts@typo.social free updates, and knowing how much @nicksherman@typo.social loves Franklin Gothic, I knew my early investment would pay off big.

Sure enough he just added *46 new styles*😳 Even now at $300 it’s still a bargain: https://www.futurefonts.xyz/hex/hex-franklin
