For God’s sake let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings:
How some have been depos’d, some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,
Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping kill’d,

Every well-designed typeface I spend a significant amount of time looking at and thinking about becomes my new favorite typeface, this is a sickness.

Hey.

Stop being so hard on yourself.
You are learning.

Don’t let your ego convince you that you are the only person facing uncertainty, doubt, exhaustion, fear, etc. You have people around you that care and are likely facing similar feelings.

We grow in community.

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Embleme Kinetic Visual Identity Font Emblème is a variable font that’s more than a set of letterforms. It’s a brand ecosystem where typography, color and motion converge.

“By embedding a comprehensive visual identity system into a single font file and reimagining how each component can be easily accessed through the keyboard, it transforms how brands can be delivered to clients—offering a seamless, integrated approach to design.”

Elizabeth Goodspeed on what happens when we treat the past like a stock library Not all borrowing is the same. From public domain illustrations on book covers to AI’s data hoarding, who really owns culture – and who gets away with taking it?

Who preserves culture—and who cashes in on it? My first
@its-nice-that.bsky.social column of the year is on the ethics of the public domain, using the past as a stock library, and who profits when history is up for grabs 📚 www.itsnicethat.com/articles/eli...

The word “Posthumous,” written in the typeface Posthumous, appears six times. Each word is in a different weight of the font, going from Regular at the top down to Black at the bottom. The text is in a cream color on a dark gray background, and at the bottom is a small teal-colored leafy flourish.

The full alphabet is written out in Posthumous—capital A, lowercase a, space, capital B, lowercase b, and so on. After the alphabet are the numbers 0-9 and a few symbols: an ampersand, at symbol, pound sign, exclamation mark, and question mark. The background is teal and the text is white. At the bottom is a small leafy flourish in a dark gray color.

Light gray text demonstrating what Posthumous looks like without a certain OpenType feature immediately precedes cream text demonstrating the font with that OpenType feature. The elements included are Trailing Caps, where capitals are replaced with their non-swash variant in all-caps contexts; Auto Arrows, where a hyphen and greater than (or less than) symbol are replaced with a unicode arrow glyph; Stylistic Set 01, which removes all swashes; and Stylistic Set 02, which removes the connections between letters to form a disconnected, more traditional blackletter style. The background is a dark gray color, and at the bottom is a small leafy flourish in a teal color.

Posthumous is out now! A variable blackletter script with gloopy round corners and lots of OpenType features, this type family has been such a labor of love. I'm so excited to share it with you all!
