Perfect for #FontSunday!
And, since that big brain RFK, JR, is recommending we all hitch up our britches and eat liver instead of London Broil, I'll go with the Chicken Liver for just 90 cents. Huzzah!

For #FontSunday... I went to a Double A baseball game this week with my sons, and the hand-lettered, hand-painted signs enthralled me as much as the game. I wrote about it here. #Photography #Art #Design #baseball

A black-and-white photo of a brick wall with part of a ghost logo. It reads "Head" and "Women". I've no idea what the entire logo said.
Okay then, #FontSunday. Does this count?

#FontSunday was fun on Twitter. Let's make it fun here. Here's a tailor-made font for today. I love hand-painted window art. #FontSky #Fonts

Here's an example of the font Emerald. This Wizard of Oz Emerald City is everywhere on clip art sites but I couldn't trace the author to credit them. I widened the landscape out and put a sky behind it. And dithered it to low-bit colour.
The Amiga typeface 'Emerald' most resembles the popular 1943 typeface American Uncial, which has a style evocative of the 'emerald isle' of Éire. Austrian designer Victor Hammer distilled this uncial from Irish handwriting and the Dearborn Type Foundry of Dearborn Street, Chicago cast it as metal, moveable type. The vast amount of printed material that followed doubtless inspired Amiga software developers to create 'Emerald.' Uncial letters are all pretty much the same height but they're neither capital (majuscule) nor the miniscule sort of lettering you'd find in the lower case of a bountiful font tub of moveable type.
The #Amiga font 'Emerald' is quintessentially Irish, an 'uncial' style of handwriting via Latin. There are Greek as well as Roman uncials. The #Amiga variant echoes American Uncial, cast in Chicago in 1943 for Austrian designer Victor Hammer. typeoff.de/2006/11/gael... #design #fonts #FontSunday

Think this was a pet shop
Saw a few variations on this design, located near schools
Slender people in graphics/statues seems to be a thing. This one was outside a vintage clothes shop
The best hat shop sign you’ll see this week.
Like signs*? Then head for #Ljubljana. A selection from this week’s visit. #SignsOnSunday / son of #FontSunday
*Plus traffic free/bike friendly city centres, nice food & drink, friendly people & beautiful mountains

I loved the constraint of a limited number of characters. Before this was extended and threads were introduced it took considerable ingenuity to create intelligible posts.
I loved lining up hashtags in order of length.
I loved #FontSunday
#ScholarSunday and the kindness of strangers.

That's it for my look at the fonts of 1975. More typography another time... #fontsunday #booksky

Letraset party images contact sheet AA130
Letraset encouraged many people to start a career in design, and even those who didn’t still learnt a lot about #typefaces and layout. From professional designers to DIY publishers it helped fuel a creative boom time. Letraset - Bluesky salutes you!

1978 Letraset print advert showcasing new typefaces
Today in pulp I look back at the simple idea that launched a thousand fanzines: Letraset!
Launched in 1959 by Dai Davies and Fred Mackenzie it heralded a graphic design revolution that brought funky fonts and trendy typefaces to the masses... #fontsunday #booksky

I really enjoy your #alphabetchallenge posts - they continue to remind me of Design Museum’s #fontsunday challenges of old…

A magazine cover with the Avantgarde and Noir typefaces.
Your publisher may think otherwise but trust me: less isn't more, less is a bore! Your typeface should be as shameless and brazen as your story, so whatever you choose keep it pulpy!

#FontSunday worked so well precisely because it was a Sunday and we all had some time to think about it without the work distractions of a Friday. Or at least that’s how it worked for me.

Most definitely. I don't know how to reach them though. I'm just hoping they'll come with time. We need to restart #FontSunday...

If the angst is as real for you as it is for me (all those lost Design Museum #FontSunday posts!), the below thread mentions Blue Ark as a bulk import option 🤔

“Fuck War.” set in tightly-spaced Franklin Gothic, followed by a field of lines for signatures. The first two signees are the poster’s designers, Billy Apple and Robert Coburn.
