This week I made a wild discovery: the original interlock display font used for the cover of “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak. I wrote about my “Safari” here: https://blog.threestepsahead.com/general/safari-where-the-wild-things-are-font/ @FontsInUse@typo.social #typography #WhereTheWildThingsAre #MauriceSendak #fonts #fontsinuse #photolettering

@isger@norden.social At first glance, this is very similar to Dymaxion Script, a 1950s “streamline” monolinear cursive style: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/dymaxionscript

@Lfaimagebot@typo.social Yikes. Might want to include some context when posting Nazi propaganda.

@Lfaimagebot@typo.social I appreciate it! And I do think there is value in posting problematic content for educational purposes provided that it is accompanied by informative context. We owe it to future generations not to forget what this text signified. It just becomes ambiguous when something like this is posted in the same manner as any other benign type specimen.
