First Handmade Subpixel Font

First Handmade Subpixel Font

It has x-height of 3 pixels, it is italic, inspired by old masters and most important – made by hand. You must not look too closely, because colors get visible. It’s work in progress.

Fascinating!

great font
We were sitting in PIE by the Pound (around Union Square), I picked up an old copy of Australian Vogue Living, and I feel in love with this font! What is this? It’s fun and elegant. It looks very similar to Fertigo, a recent download of mine, but not quite. If anyone knows the name of this font and where I can find it, please let me know.

Bumble and Bumble Model Project
Bumble and Bumble called me, clear out of the blue, on Tuesday, to tell me they had had some cancellations in their Model Project, and if I wanted to come in that night. This is something I’ve participated in a number of times and it has always been a fun experience. I don’t understand why anyone in this city would pay for a haircut when something like this is available. This time, I walked away with my favorite results to date!

Son of Man PowerBook
That’s so fuckin’ clever!

The beauty of them iMacs
Funny story about computer confiscation in Denmark
This made me do a little more than smile… it damn near brought me to tears I was laughing so hard! Might be a little geeky, but for those of you who hold those bubbly iMacs close to your heart will appreciate this.
