Spring Break
Readers: I'll be out of town for a few days – and probably without access to Adobe software – so I won't be posting names for the next few days. I know that that's technically cheating, but there's not too much to be done about it.
In the meantime these are the names I will do to catch up when we return.
Day #26: Laremy
Day #27: Becca
Day #28: Corrie
Day #29: Andrew
Day #30: Lynda
Day #31: Dane
Have a good weekend.

Univers 75.
I'm quickly coming to the close of immediate family and in-laws here, any requests (other than a self-portrait)?

Franklin Gothic Book.
Below: There is a group of typefaces known as the grotesques, which were very common in Germany through much of the 19th century. Characterized by bold, straight lines and even strokes these letters were ideal for things like posters and advertisements – and propaganda. Among these typefaces there was one called Akzidenz Grotesk, which emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. It gained widespread popularity and usage throughout Europe and eventually spawned a whole family of new typefaces – the neo-grotesques, like Helvetica, Univers, Folio and Franklin Gothic (the American). We all, of course, know Helvetica quite well.
One thing that I like to ponder while looking at typeface is the lower-case a. There seems to be a lot of personality there. Below are 4 lower-case a's presented for your consideration. Compare them, see what kinds of relationships are there. It's fun.
