Say Hello to Nick Shinn
We’re proud to welcome designer and writer Nick Shinn as our newest Typographica author. Nice to have a Canadian on board to justify our domain name. Nick’s font design credits include FF Fontesque, FF Oneleigh, Worldwide, Preface and, most recently, the innovative Panoptica. Click on “Essays” at his site for a nice sampling of his writing. Nick also has a collection of wonderfully old-school photography at fStop.
It will be great to see Nick originating posts. Not only are his fonts interesting (noting that boredom is death), but he has an iconoclasm that’s refreshing in its intelligence.

A hardy tip of the toque to Mr Shinn.
> Nice to have a Canadian on board to justify our domain name.
And what am I? Chopped poutine? Hmph.
Thanks Stephen, but I am merely following in the footsteps of Joe Clark.
Grant – My apologies. You are more a fine Canuck pâté.
Nick – I’m sorry, but Jolly Joe is inimitable. Oh, Canadian, I see. Okay, I am embarrassed now. Next thing I’ll discover Joshua is from Alberta.
Well …..
Have you actually seen a copy of your birth certificate, Stephen?
Nick is a terrific addition to the team. Looking forward to reading more.
Congrats to the new contributor… but Who are the others members?
Hi Dr. Nick!
Hi everybody
Sorry, it kind of just made sense, you know? I mean, say Hi, to Nick? C’mon, it was right there for the taking, right? Right? Oh, whatever.
JFP – We’ll have a list of contributors and their bios shortly.
It’s funny, I didn’t realize than Nick wasn’t already on board. I just assumed that, like a lot of of us “inner-circle” types, he was just slacking off. Welcome aboard, Nick! and hello from south of the border (though I guess you’re more like due east from where I sit).
Really? Nick is Canadian. From the way he speaks, I could have sworn that he was from Brooklyn.
Thanks. Now that you refer to that, I remember to have received an invitation a while ago, before the launch of typographica. I never answered and don’t know why.
When I got the invitation I declined, but only because I was already spending too much time on these things! That’s even more true now… :-/

If I were Nick, I would say something like, All Typographica needs is another “font expert.”
But, I’m not Nick, and I don’t think anybody could rip his brand of wit and curmudgeonly bluntness.
Welcome to the crew Nick!
=)
Just in the Nick of time! Congrats Nick, Write on!
:-)
