can anyone explain what work the E– is doing in this sign? I assume this is some sort of typographic atavism e.g., E-mail but i'm hard pressed to understand it.

I don’t have the time/energy but you can draw a thematic straight line between the 8.5x11 printout travesty and the quietly radical typographic success of the Mamdani campaign www.curbed.com/article/zohr...

TIL "Asterism"
In typography, an asterism, ⁂, is a typographic symbol consisting of three asterisks placed in a triangle. Useful for, say, separator scene breaks.

Don't tell the book historians, but subword tokenization is first and foremost a typographic procedure
The project that started my whitespace obsession... #EMNLP2025
