A journey through a longtime object of fascination of mine: typography.
There are fonts called Palatino installed on millions of desktop computers; inevitably a weak and ugly parody of the original. Regrettably every book published between 1987 and 1991 was set in some bad Palatino or other; this may be why I watched so much television in those years.
I find Textism on a whole a rather refreshing discovery. Love the photographs too.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
