Typographica is Two

Typographica on May 1, 2004

It’s our second birthday today. Cheers to Joshua for bringing this little fonty soapbox to life on May 1, 2002.

Year three will bring a redesign and some new harder core content, including interviews with our type design idols, software reviews, and in-depth typography tutorials. Our door is still open to new contributors: please drop a line if you’d like to join us.

    Hey Mark, what a pleasant surprise! I did one too, but it took me so long I don’t know if Stewf’ll have me for another one. :-D We’ll see…

    Happy Birthday!
    “Terrible twos” coming up? I certainly hope so! :-)

  7. If a blog of the typographic persuasion is even vaguely similar to a child, then based on my experience, the twos are *not* the period of growth and awareness we need to worry about. The twos were not terrible, the threes on the other hand…

    Spiffy loads of congrats, nevertheless.

  8. Happy Birthday, Typographica..
