Designer of many rectangles.
I love and geek out on books, pencils, horror movies, fonts, smart quotes, photography, and games — both video and tabletop. I live and work in Philadelphia under a pile of books.

I feel bad for any Alberts who go by “Al” because their names immediately stick out to me as AI now. Typographic betrayal!

🎉 @kellianderson.bsky.social sits down with Adam Savage to talk about her new book, Alphabet in Motion. It’s part pop-up book and part history of letterforms. Kelli is one of my favorite designers, such a great combination of skill and joy in everything she makes.

CENTRAL JERSEY (it exists), come on down to Revilla Grooves this Thursday night to see my pal Ray’s photo retrospective and/or me play my last solo set of the year! Event from 7-11 PM, I’ll probably play around 8:00.

I wasn’t into BYTE Magazine back in the day, but damn this is a great archive of all the issues. I want this style of power interface for every kind of large gallery: byte.tsundoku.io

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

📢 New post: I wrote about improving at designing type in fits and starts while working on a lowercase for my font Citywide. Progress isn’t always quick, but I’m really enjoying the make mistakes 🔁 get a little better loop.
