Cheers to everyone who delayed fossil fuel phaseout by saying "you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight"
Because thanks to them everyone now has to face a situation where fossil fuels are switched off overnight 🙃🙃🙃

@clauseggers @hdonker Agreed: unusual – but not unique. See the comments on this Flickr page for more examples of such a cursive yet unconnected ‘r’:

@boldmonday @triple @eWalthert @sajatype @w__h_ @ohno @cakelab Here’s an example from the realm of metal type, shown by Pittsburgh Type Founders in 1918. Not a systematic approach, but definitely fractions with broken bars.
@paperposts That’s a stylized Shell of Saint James, showing the way to Santiago de Compostela: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camino_de_Santiago
@triple @eWalthert Dang.
But it won’t be the last one for this year! Pretty sure we’ll be doing another one in summer, for @typostammtisch. (I know this doesn’t help much for non-Berliners.)
The #fontstandcon2026 Friday Workshops are almost sold out! Don’t miss your last chance to register before they are all gone.

Looking for a typeface that revived these letters, if it exists. I couldn’t find one. Anyone could help out?

Wagner Zip-Change has the right letterforms and Double D NF about the right faceting. I’m not aware of a font that brings together both.

Best decision this year, yet:
Signing up for a lettering workshop whit Jeroen @shamrock Klaver.

Looking for a flat in #berlin ? We're moving houses and subletting our flat in Neukölln for 6 months before the next tenants can move in.
It's a 87m2 flat at the fifth floor in a back house of Sonnenallee, bright and very quiet even with open windows. It has a huge kitchen/living room, 2 bedrooms and a balcony. We could leave some minimal furniture like couches, a big futon bed, etc. Move in from the 15.03 or 01.04.
Please share if you know some people who might be interested. PM me for more details.
@gerritvanaaken @rainerklute @fontwerk Plot-Twist: schon die allererste DIN-Schrift war kursiv. Die geneigte DIN 16 wurde 1919 noch vor der aufrechten DIN 17 als Norm für die Beschriftung technischer Zeichnungen definiert. Die (nicht gerundete) DIN 1451 folgte erst in den 1930ern.
