Today we took the wheels from Steven's 1969 Lincoln Continental to our School Bus. Everyone's got one of these to store their shit in, right? Our washer and dryer are in there. I love how this bus has some awesome fonts. Probably hand-painted.
"THE DANGER ZONE"
EING that I'm a typophile, almost everything I see is viewed through the font lens. I can't go to the grocery store without analyzing packaging, and it's probably the reason I don't have consistent handwriting; like a serial killer. So, two of the things high on my list this week to love are:
1. Take the Pentagram "What Font are You?" test. My result is PLASTICA. I was surprised at first, I mean, I always assume myself to be sans-serif, and Plastica is bold-- I like it. Find it under the umbrella of the Umbra family. Actually, it's close to Umbra, but not spot-on. Compare the 'M's in "MADISON" [Umbra] and in last image of short alphabet [Plastica]. I would love to find Plastica & try it out a little more and see if it's truly my match!
2. Designer Jessica Hische's Daily Drop Cap is a really fun way to flourish your paragraphs, she promises to create a new drop cap every work day, so check her out often.

Too freaking funny. A blog dedicated to the assholes who think uppercase I's are the same thing as a lowercase l. Well, friends--they aren't. I know I'll be spotting these everywhere now.
