When I was an apprentice I got to tour and have lunch with their head cutter. They were all extremely pleasant.

My shop also fit a lot of people who were never quite satisfied with their A&S suits. The problems usually stemmed from the way the English tailors do shoulder seams.

Maybe I'm an idiot but I don't understand what shutting down the gov will do besides give the Republicans more pretext do fire people and shutter more agencies. The Dems would have to agree to pass something eventually. I think their real chance to fight real fights is in the courts.

Enfilade by JTD - Future Fonts Enfilade is a condensed grotesk with four optical variations. Each optical variant is optimized to work at half the point size of the previous variant to make establishing hierarchy a breeze.

Oops! As of now, Enfilade is only available at FutureFonts. That link on our site should have taken you here: www.futurefonts.xyz/jtd/enfilade

About to board a train that’ll last for the next three days; I’m not sure if I’ve made a terrible mistake.

I’m sure there will still be type foundry posts from me, I just didn’t want to be a brand here.

Saw Oppenheimer. Couldn’t get past the fact that Cillian Murphy sounded like Robin Williams.

Have you released any of your type yet?

The tough thing about this space being invite-only is I can’t bother everyone by sending them links to stuff posted here.

I don’t think I’m going to be a type foundry on here.
