UP AND RUNNING! My campaign to fund my next book, a sibling to Writing Beyond Writing and The Atlas of Endangered Alphabets. Please check it out--and pass the word to anyone you know who cares about language, cultural revival, art, and the written word. https://t.co/097JgZwLG8

“Overall, my aim is, silently, to perplex and challenge the viewer's intellect, and – above all – amuse and entertain.” Syd Bluett. Exhibition in Kells opens on Thursday. @typographyIRL @MeathArts @HinterlandKells @sarah_mixtapes

Might be the best April Fool's joke ever.

In 1977 the Guardian ran a 7 page Travel Supplement on the Island of San Serriffe. Typography people will get the joke ... and the details on the map.

Huge thanks to Peter Saville and Paul Barnes for delivering an incredible conversation on ‘Always Now: Typography and Semiotics’ last night. It was an inspiring, funny and honest insight into Peter’s career and the thinking behind his work. We could have listened all night.
