Another conference, for those in London the week after ATypI in Rome:

St Bride Printing Library, 2002 conference

Twentieth Century Graphic Communication

By the way, any type nuts visiting London at any time should pay a visit to the St Bride Printing Library. It helps if you have something specific to look for, but even browsing in the reading room cabinets is a delightful way to spend an afternoon.

Nice typographic movements by Imaginary Forces alum Peter Cho. See also the Letterscapes at his Typeractive.

virus warning! i am getting a lot of emails from typography-related email adresses lately, which got something in common: they probably contain a virus... ( i am not going to open any of those emails, because i already got infected with one of the 'klez'-worm type, some time ago, and i had to totally 'clean' my system... ) so, if you get any emails from type related persons / or anybody else, which are approx. around 120 / 130 kb in size, please pay attention and make sure, that its a 'real' email and no faked virus package...

SuperMundane is Robert Peter Lowe work, including "alphabet decoration".

Drat! The quick, clean, agreeable fontfont.de is dead! If we ever want to eye the beauty of FontFont’s wares again we must wade through a slow, brutish, unlinkable, gif-littered, frame-fettered, fontfont.com — an unforgiving beast who forces each innocent fontfontlover to view the City Streets through a distant keyhole and see Dolores as if at a peepshow.

Sure, we can fall back on Google’s cache. But for how long? New FF releases won’t be posted to a retired site.

Why, Mr. Spiekermann? Why?! There aren’t interrobangs enough to express my frustration.
