NO to the Save Act…
World’s on fire. We need a long scroll full of graphic design archives from @wemadethis.co.uk to calm our nervous systems.

You read my mind. I was wondering.
I’m the tiniest bit jealous. 🥰
IMHO Agenda is *still* one of the best Latin Humanist sans serifs.
This is extremely important
I was shocked too!
More vintage modern #font goodness from Mark!
Vintage because I get phototypesetting vibes.
Modern because it is ripe for the serif trend happening right now.
