“I would surprise myself with not knowing whether I was holding an 🍊 or a 🍋, a 🍅 or an 🍎. Usually, I could sort them out by sniffing or squeezing.”

In his fascinating piece “A Man of Letters” for The New Yorker, neurologist and author Oliver Sacks @oliversacksfdn writes about patients who lost the ability to read, while still being able to write.

Why not skip ◎ Tatort ◉ tonight and watch “Umbruch” by Hans-Ulrich Schlumpf instead? The year is 1985, and Akeret AG in Bassersdorf, a printer and publisher of a small local 📰, exchanges its Lintotype department with cutting-edge photo-typesetting machinery, much to the chagrin of its employees. Shortly after, Ruppert Murdoch fires more than 5000 printers and typesetters in London 🇬🇧 because they were on strike ✊ against the introduction of the new typesetting and printing technology. “Umbruch” is a unique document, and with 🎥 by Pio Corradi and 🎵 by @brunospoerri, what’s more to ask?

Herb Lubalin @herblubalin (1918–1981) was one of the most prolific 🇺🇸 American designers from the 20th century and many of his typefaces and logos are still widely in use today. After his death, he donated his vast collection of works of post-war graphic design to the Cooper Union in NY who transformed it into a generous and productive archive, the @lubalincenter. At this center you'll find, amongst many other things, huge file cabinets, and they let you open the Sandberg drawer, and then next the Vignelli drawer, etc. Of course we can't go to NY right now, but we can browse their Flickr (yes!) albums of type specimens and other gems.

“Using Helvetica is like cooking 🍝 spaghetti — a few achieve a world class dish, but most produce junk.” (C.W.) Documentary film 🎬 maker @gary_hustwit has generously created free access to his work for the time being, muchas gracias 👍.
