Memoriam

Originally designed for New York Times Magazine by Patrick Griffin.

According to Pentagram's What Type Are You? (password: character) my type is emotional, understated, traditional and disciplined. And occasionally assertive rather than understated. It's true. And I like high contrast, sinuous typefaces such as those above.

Another beauty designed in the 1950's by John Pistilli, Pistilli Roman:

for those who demand that things be in order and then are always incredibly moved when they are.

What's the deal with Papyrus? I'm not talking about its quality, rather, its ubiquity. It seems to pop up everywhere, most often in yoga studios and shops that sell incense and tarot cards. And so I'm wondering, of all the unreadable system fonts out there, why do people love Papyrus?

If Papyrus is not on your computer but you wish it was, download it for $26 here.

While enjoying the monthly Los Angeles Art Walk last week, I stumbled upon a wall of almost exclusively black and white collages/paintings that I'm still thinking about after returning to DC. Juxtaposing industrial objects such as windmills and sky scrapers with nature, Patrick Haemmerlein designs his work fusing photographs of LA (where he currently resides) and of his hometown in upstate New York.

Also bought a real black oak leaf dipped in gold to wear around my neck.

Dear Baltimore, I miss you even though I don't like you.
