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’:

One month to go — and only 40 tickets remain. With 210 already sold, we will be sold out. If you want to attend the conference in Berlin, now is the time. 🎟️

@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.

Detail from a specimen book by Pittsburgh Type Founders, 1918, showing nine precomposed bold fractions in 18 point. In some of them – ⅔, ⅜, ⅝ – the diagonal bar is interrupted.

@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.)

Where I am mentally when I browse automatically translated tags on MYFONTS.COM™

Montage drôlatique autour des tags mal traduits en français sur une page de myfonts.com : « soutien linguistique » (images d'archive INA de personnalités suédoises parlant français, carte postale « oui, je parle français »), « Grand X-Hauteur » (photo de X-OR, mains qui tiennent un mètre étalon, deux personnes de taille différente) « Comptoirs ouverts » et « Grands comptoirs » (images d'archive INA de bars français, emoji bière et vin), « Texte du livre » (photo de Bernard Pivot et ses piles de livre, clip art livre dérangeant, garçon souffrant de dyslexie, portrait vectoriel de Jean-Paul Sartre).

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.

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.

Ganzseitige Anzeige der Schriftgießerei und Messinglinienfabrik H. Berthold AG für die Dinorm-Grotesk-Kursiv, eine Bleisatzschrift basierend auf der schrägen Blockschrift nach DIN 16 des Normenausschusses der deutschen Industrie e.V., in »Deutscher Buch- und Steindrucker« von Juni 1924.
