Good type against all odds

I’m a simple man. I see a post from Marcin about typography or keyboards and I upvote. He has such a passion for this and I’ve always loved his storytelling.

Lovely photographs as well, great composition and the bold editing.

So pleasant to see elegance in such seemingly mundane places. Someone cared and took a little extra time. Bravo to them!

I went to see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronovisor_(film) recently. If ever there were a film for typography nerds!

What a lovely example to end on. Personally, I (guiltily) love using ol'fashioned contractions. I wish it were more normalised.

I thought maybe to account for the origin of italics, it could be that it's easier to slant in that direction while writing left-to-right than the other way. However, when people write Yiddish (which has a right-to-left script) they slant the same way[^1], whereas you'd expect the opposite if it were easier, so maybe it is just arbitrary.

Woah, I've never seen a 24x2 HD44780 before! Only 16x2 and 20x4.

Marcin's attention to details, showcasing works that demonstrate the craftsmanship in what is typically considered mundane, is really amazing!
