1) Sword at Sunset, Rosemary Sutcliff; 2) Spear, Nicola Griffith.
I was wondering why no one one had yet mentioned “Sword at Sunset.”
Wonderful!

Once more into #ATypI history, dear friends! I've just published the next chapter, this time on ATypI in the 1970s. Like all the chapters of this work in progress, this is a draft. Corrections & additions always welcome.

Applications are now open for the Donald Knuth and Charles Bigelow Type Design Incubator, now in its second year. The deadline is November 15. kbitype.org
Depends on the typeface, though.
So far, so tired.
I have just published a draft of the most difficult chapter of the ATypI history, on the association’s "Code Moral.” The Code was a core document of ATypI from its founding, although the first official version wasn’t adopted until 1963.

Apocalypso. Oh, wait, that’s a movie.
Yes.
Will they mariner once again? I certainly hope not.

C'mon. This Guy is the present administration's Horst Wessel. Talking about him makes him bigger. Are any of the new sources talking about anything else? The rest of the world has moved on.
Homes? Hanging from a Christmas tree?
I only remember them from the early 1960s. There were later ones?
Only a couple of days left to propose a talk or workshop for next year's *two* ATypI conferences, at Stanford University and the University of Sharjah:

This campaign is now at 98%. All it'll take is another $398 to reach the goal. Pocket change for a billionaire!
One of the chapters that I'm intending to write will be about Typ09, the first ATypI conference in Latin America: Mexico City, 2009.

The ATypI history GoFundMe is creeping toward its goal. I have just posted a new update, with a snapshot from this year and one from years past.

Tonight we had the second Type Seattle meet-up, with its somewhat more formal format than a simple pub gathering. (Not that there's anything wrong with those!) It's good to have a regular event for the local type community again, after the long Covid-induced lacuna.
That's quite a list of exceptions!
More of a bold, shadowed 19th-century modern typeface, but I don't recognize it offhand.
