2026-01-27 still working on this #type #typography I like that it wobbels all over the place without anoying me, I hope people get the irony.

“But they started it and it is for your own safety. You got nothing to hide. Die you see what they did? We had no other choice.”

Recently I learned you can use #RDoc in your #RubyGem description, and rubygems.org will render it as HTML!

Unfortunately, their CSS reset gets the better of it. But not for long, if this PR gets merged: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org/pull/6228 (before/after screenshots included)

Here's to @st0012 and his fabulous work on Aliki that made this easy!

Typography Is About Understanding, Not Readability

"Ask most designers what the goal of good typography is, and they will likely respond without much thought: “it’s about legibility and readability.” I beg to differ."

Old map of Avondale Square estate

#Outside #Typography

Photograph of an old, light grey, scuffed and scratched relief map of the Avondale Square estate map. Top left is the City of London crest (roughly St George cross, two winged lions, winged helmet with leaves) and the motto "DOMINE DIRIGE NOS" ("Lord guide us"). Top right is a sculpted relief map of the various buildings (in cream) with olive green grass. Bottom half says "CORPORATION of LONDON" and "AVONDALE SQ" in what seems to be the Gill Sans font.

TIL about another book for learning #typography! www.insideparagraphs.com

Cover of "Inside paragraphs: typographic fundamentals" by Cyrus Highsmith

Cover is in red and black with the letters 'e' and 'a' forming an abstract design. The counters are filled with red; and the negative space forms a white shape between the two letters. The rest of the type is white (title) reversed out of the black. The author's name is in red.

A colophon reads:

"The body text in this book is set in Ibis Text. The headings are set in Scout. Both Ibis and Scout are original typeface series drawn by Cyrus Highsmith, available from Font Bureau. The captions were hand-lettered.
The book was designed by Cyrus Highsmith with help from Kent Lew. They used Adobe InDesign."

Does anyone recognize this buglike dingbat?

A female master basketmaker of the Chumash culture, working at the Mission San Buenaventura about 1817, coiled the basket from natural and dyed Juncus. I think I know who she was, but not sure yet. The all-caps text is in Spanish, likely composed by one of the missionaries.
