should look at these beautiful capital letters! Typographer Jessica Hische posted one a day and there are three versions of the alphabet for use on your blog. If only I wrote paragraphs long enough to justify using these.

A great typographer and a terrible man. We excuse bestiality and incest because we are all guilty of using his font.

In keeping with today’s theme of Europe in the 1920s please read this fantastic blog on YMFY about the women of Bauhaus >

The lesbian design teacher at my all girls school took pleasure in telling our class about the German art school which accepted “the beautiful gender”. However I was always disappointed that these women did weaving rather than typography (crafts is not really my scene).

Anyway read the blog, it has stories (some sad) about what happened to some of the females who attended the school >
