we love typography
I have impeccable tastes. It’s true. This was confirmed to me when I was invited to be a contributor to the highly-exclusive type and lettering archiving website, welovetypography.com. Actually, I was quite humbled and honored to be included as a part of this project. If I had invites to share with you, I would, but unfortunately the scope has been kept intentionally small. I hope you’re not too jealous of me. One nice little feature is that I can add tags to the photos I’ve shared and often I’m sharing images of things I’d like to be able to buy. If you type ‘merch’ in the search field, you can find some purchasable items, since I seem to be posting shopping suggestions less frequently these days.
And now I have to clear the air on a recent occurrence that has happened in connection with me being a contributor to the welovetypography website. It appears that several blogs have credited me for the photography of one of the images that I submitted. The fact of the matter is that I am not an accomplished photographer. I wish it were so. The photo that has been the cause of this confusion was actually taken by one Marieke Wijntjes, more information on this particular image can be found here.

I got a complaint about my blog from one of my friends when I was home in Arizona last. She told me that it was ‘boring’. I assumed that the reason was because that I don’t post enough personal information on this blog. I guess that I’m of the opinion that my Facebook page is more of my personal platform for my own private and political pabulum. Also, I’ve been accused for not feeding my blog enough. So this post is meant to remedy both of these problems.
Firstly, a bit of old news: I moved from the UK back to the US in December and landed in San Jose, California in January of this year to begin working for Adobe on their typeface development team. I wrote a brief life history to explain how I got to that point for those of you that might be interested.
And of more immediate vintage, I just completed an interview for FontShop’s FontFeed, detailing my involvement with FontStruct. This might prove interesting to you if you were able to read through my Adobe biography above without falling asleep.
Lastly, I wanted to take this opportunity to shamelessly mention that I have recently tried to monetize this blog by adding a link to my Amazon A-store, which includes some handpicked items on subject of type and typography. If you haven’t clicked on the link in this paragraph, you can always find the store through the widget showcasing books (many on sale!) on the top, right of this page. If you like any of my recommendations, then buy something!
More news soon, I promise!
