Today @natmcgartland.bsky.social, PhD candidate in English at the University of Maryland, spoke to us about data representation through textiles. From Jacquard loom punch cards to crochet patterns to paper weaving, Nat showed us that weaving & textile work has always been a form of data practice 🧶📊

Happy Type High Day! We love this poster from our friends at Davidson College Letterpress Lab. September 18 is like pi day for printers: the date corresponds to 0.918 inches, or the standardized height of a piece of type!
