Katja and I had afternoon hot chocolate today. we talked about her work at school. She is learning about typography and letter height. Worm line, grass line, airplane line and cloud line. I showed her some of my work and some of the font things I’ve done and the font book we have here in the house.
If anyone knows some good 19th century fonts please let me know...
Something like in this page.
Straight from the rogue's bonebox:
"The Rogue's Lexicon" circa 1859. Talk like a 19th C. scoundrel!
From time to time I look at fonts.
This one looks interesting and fun. I should check out its character repertoire.
Today I have been working on an online CV. I needed a button for downloading a PDF version of a PDF. I wanted it to fit in with the Font Awesome and Academicons that my theme uses.
Another issue for me was the text font. I needed to display some combining diacritics with a clear font.
Since 2005 I have used K2, a really nice minimalistic theme for WordPress. I especially liked the spacing and the fonts used. But alas I had two people tell me that it was hard to read posts on my blog. I set out to find a new theme which was more reader friendly (especially since I am having a few longer posts). I settled with Twenty Eleven.

So in a last adieu. Good bye K2. It has been good knowing you.
