Hi UK, here they come! Huge start of bird migration from the Waddensea westwards. Currently an bird migration traffic rate of 9000 birds per km per hour. Enjoy 😉


Going down the @sainsburyarch rabbithole. They've just published all of the digitisations for their Own Label packaging sainsburyarchive.org.uk/catalogue/sear…

13 years. What a chapter. A heartfelt thank you to all of the good folks at Monotype—past and present—and to everyone I’ve had the fortune of collaborating with over that time. What’s next? It's time to take the leap and consult with other brands too. Forward, always.


Some finds in Arles

The Lord’s Prayer on 12pt type. The Monotype Corporation prided itself on its precision engineering – the surface area measures approx 4mm square and the text itself measures 0.156mm high (NB, one penny coin as reference).

So, this happened. Some of the back story: lnkd.in/drs4VT9 It's been a long journey, and lots of incredible people behind it. @Monotype


150mile sleigh ride from Brixham to Portsmouth yesterday. Dolphins and trawlers at dawn, 11knots past Portland and some peppery force 7ish stuff past the Isle of Wight surfing into Portsmouth through the lights at 11pm last night.
