Typo.social has no fact checkers on contract, but I know you will call out bullshit when you see it. This is an invite to sign up to the LTR Newsletter if you haven't already. Commercial motives clearly on the table, this is an #ad. If you like seeing my work, please sign up for my newsletter, I promise I will never make a podcast! This much is true, for sure. Or at least that is what I told the others. #lettering #newfonts #typography #typedrivesculture #fonts

Teletekst screen circa 2006 for Service provider XS4ALL. “Due to a disruption, we can’t show disruptions on teletekst. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.” Someone had a sense of humor. #teletekst #xs4all

Regarding neon verses LED. I don’t know when this Dutch department store sign was upgraded to LED, but it had to be fairly recent. This is a fancy, expensive store. Individual blocks burned out. Neon can last for decades. @stewf #bijenkorf #thehague #led #lettering #burnout #neon

Who can help me with the street address for FontShop Canada - in Toronto? Possibly in the offices of Cooper & Beatty. Would have been with Ed Cleary. I have many FontBooks, but they're all in the studio :) #Fontshop #Canada #Toronto

To whomever is working on the Ghibli Lego. Still waiting for various sets from Howls Moving Castle, Spirited Away Restaurant Street, Bath House, Spirit Ferry and Train sets. The seaplanes from Porco Rosso would be nice. The whole city and airship from Kiki. The pirate planes. All the ornithopters. The robots and city from Laputa. The library, ships, pelicans, time doors from Heron. A Miyazaki minifig, with apron at his table, drawing. (1/2)
