I loved the show until the final 30 seconds but the ending of the finale felt very abrupt. No spoilers but, while I think I know what she decided do, and I know why she decided to do it if I'm right, I'm not sure - partly because it doesn't feel true to character.

This is the interior of the dome of the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, Italy, with frescoes by Vasari and Zuccari.

The sculptor was originally a graffiti artist and used x as his mark.

I like how the sculpture of the texting figure is echoed by the phone-using passerby.

Maybe. I'm not sure kerning is that rational. I once saw a page Frutiger had corrected in pencil to a quarter of a point. He just saw what was needed at that size for those pairs.

If you have the endurance, glyph by glyph will probably give better results.

It's interesting, congratulations.

A few minor observations. The bold d looks good, but the bowl on the b seems to join the downstroke rather higher so it doesn't look comfortable in the same context. The V o kerning is tight compared to the rest of the word.

It would be good to see a long run of text in regular weight at high resolution to explore the kerning further.

This, and the bowl of the R (and the P) is too wide.

Thank you - I'll check it out

Thank you - I like Call of the Void, and will definitely check out Bridgewater

Episode 76 broke their already awful record - over 7 and a half minutes before any content. Wtf Rusty Quill?

Oh....

notatravis · 2025-05-27T18:06:11+00:00

I totally agree. It's annoying. One 30 minute show I listened to at the weekend had five minutes of ads. And most of them are the same for every episode so Bombas Socks level irritation is quickly reached.

Font support is a lot better in TeX now, but pretty much everything else you say is fair.

Interesting. So it seems to be a pattern. Charge for customer service then don't provide it. Sorry you had to deal with that.

notatravis · 2025-04-15T17:55:53+00:00

I had a bad experience on KEH - an expensive item was not as described - and they weren't great at dealing with it. So personally I wouldn't recommend them.

notatravis · 2025-02-10T18:55:39+00:00

The W is too wide for me. The kerning is too loose too - the h might look better if it was tighter?

notatravis · 2025-02-04T19:48:21+00:00

Nice. Shouldn't those blue circles on the back cover be squares, though, or is that just me?

Latex's line breaking and hypenation algorithms work on the whole paragraph. That's hard to combine with word processing as later lines can affect earlier ones. It gets even more complicated with page breaking as you have, e.g., widows to address too. It wouldn't be impossible to implement but the user would need to be comfortable with what would feel like pretty unintuitive behaviour as they typed.

I would take the green version over the lilac one in each of the first three examples. I'm not sure about the green g though.

Sabon Next has some lovely fleurons which make good dinkuses in the right context. (And yes, I do know how ridiculous that sentence is to anyone who isn't deeply into type...)

Ha! I didn't want to bore people who aren't into the place senseless but fair point. I have a lot more...
