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.
