We have a new winner for least legible typeface! Announcing Swear Smoke: ohnotype.co/drawer#swear-smoke

A specimen of our typeface Swear Smoke showing the words "SHORT WORDS". It's an elaborate connected design that is intentionally hard to read with very high contrast, a noticeable backslant, and some bizarre forms.

I enjoyed hanging out with him, outside of class too. One of those people that didn't make me feel like I was a student and he was the coordinator.

He was always happy to see us, joking around, and seemed to know every single person in The Hague.

My brother Cameron and I just spent 10 minutes coming up with a fake astro turf company called TURTH. Does anyone else do this with their family?

Thanks to @jamieotelsberg and @colinmford, today we announce Regrets, our new display sans. ohnotype.co/fonts/regrets

A black and white, fake airbrushed background texture of a monstera with an art nouveau border, and white text, upright on a descending baseline in all caps that reads “REGRETS” in our new typeface Regrets, which is an art-nouveau influenced light, high contrast display sans.

I *finally* listened to this episode on Davida and Casserole and IT IS SO GOOD.

(Some of it really hit home, especially the bits on family and blame and conditional vs. unconditional love.)
