Hey type peeps — does anyone remember a blog post? forum post? article of some sort that rather convincingly (I seem to remember) made the point that the rupee symbol should have a hard join on top instead of following the curve of an R bowl? Can’t find this again

I guess “he’s an on-aire” doesn’t sound very compelling

If a “millimeter” is 1/1000 of a meter, a milligram is 1/1000 of a gram etc, maybe the amount that is 1000 millions should just be called “on”.

The tendency I found is that cross-stitch alphabets are much more ornate than pixel fonts (makes sense considering usage and physical size) but sometimes forms can get very similar — bottom 2 lines here show a cross stitch & a screen font respectively

That’s awesome. FWIW I researched this kind of stuff (pixel type avant la lettre) far too many years ago — it’d be nice to dive into it again and in more depth/with better methodologies, given time etc

Indeed, and especially the history of “letters composed from little squares or other elements” is fragmented between histories that (compared to typographic history) are barely connected, spottily preserved, and sometimes barely researched: handicrafts, masonry/construction, mosaics, etc.

Oof that’s gorgeous. Not sure about “the first”, for instance alphabets for cross stitching go back to the 16th century, according to Pouchelon: Abécédaires Brodés (2001):

Almost completely unknown is the second of the two flags created by Baker and others in 1978, which had a field of stars and one errant ‘queer’ star sewn into the turquoise stripe, gold on one side, silver on the other. this flag is gone now; I’ve only seen it in this one clear photo

Yet again, J Dakota Brown said better then me what is desperately missing in our field: we have no place to discuss our profession, collectively.
