Burberry logo before & after (2023). The new Burberry logotype had some issues, so I redesigned it for practice. The swash with the ball terminal on ‘B’ is inspired by the ‘B’ on the knight’s shield—thus establishing a relationship between the logomark and the logotype.

Wow, this is bad. 1. For one, you would need to make the thin stroke thicker so it optically looks as thick as the outline of the downstroke. 2. Horizontal strokes look optically thicker, and thus require compensation. 3. This won’t work well as an icon.

Debemur Morti Productions logo (2012) I designed this blackletter-based logo for a French black metal label to loosely resemble a ribcage—because why not?

Debemur Morti Productions monogram (2012) I can’t believe I designed this 12 years ago already! I would adjust the curly stroke on the left now, and probably increase the size of the claw-like ornament on the ‘D’ a bit; but other than that, I’m still pleased with this.

@michael1980elco @dudar_qyz @bustybumbuns @whoregreymon @CatchUpFeed The existence of intersex people is also factual. Chromosomal sex not always corresponding with biological sex is also factual. The brain and sense of gendered self not always corresponding to the anatomy of the body is also factual.

Mama Mexa brand identity (2022) by Seachange. Such a wild and delicious typeface! Almost allantoid. “A custom typeface with character and visual immediacy, generating an invitational familial warmth and evoking Mexican flora.”

@BadMedicalTakes I’m curious about which hormones she thinks the body doesn’t produce naturally. My guess: testosterone for women, and estrogen for men. Always people with the mind of a pancake talking with so much confidence about things they know nothing about.

Ohh what a majestic ‘Q’! I’ve never seen a tail quite like that before. And such an intriguing texture and use of negative space in the lowercase with those leftward curves. From ‘The Model Book of Calligraphy’ (1561–1596) by Georg Bocskay & Joris Hoefnagel.

Any idea what those twisty things above the ‘u’s are? Are they ornamental, or do they affect the pronunciation? I’m leaning towards the former, since I only see them in the first paragraph. From ‘The Model Book of Calligraphy’ (1561–1596) by Georg Bocskay & Joris Hoefnagel.

Gothic No. 2 (c. 1856) & Gothic No. 3 (date unknown). Look at that 48pt ‘a’! I feel that embodies the true meaning of ‘grotesque’. I really enjoy the high contrast in the grotesques pictured here. From ‘Convenient Book of Specimens – Franklin Type Foundry’ (Cincinnati, 1889).

Pff Likes are private now for my privacy? Bullshit. Seeing people’s Likes can actually provide a sense of safety because I can see if there are any red flags in what they Like. I don’t need privacy; I need safety. Letting people hide who they are makes this platform less safe.

Blacktrap WIP “How can a blackletter have ink traps, let alone extreme ones?” they said. Well, take this! • 1st image: a blackletter ‘A’ based on Cathedral Text (1828). • 2nd image: ‘A’ with ink traps. • 3rd & 4th images: ‘A’ with more experimental ink traps & inlines

G.W. Bacon’s 1902 Excelsior Lettering Cards by Frank Steeley. Very interesting to see letters with ornamental chunks taken out of the letterforms, including the tops and bottoms of the serifs (reminiscent of Tuscan serifs).

Sonnets pour Hélène (1927) by Pierre de Ronsard (originally published in 1578). Lettering by Louis Jou. Similar lettering as the previous cover with the same kind of curly terminals, yet completely redone, with a very different construction of intersecting capitals. Fun!

Sonnets pour Hélène (1927) by Pierre de Ronsard (originally published in 1578). Lettering by Louis Jou. I’m not generally a fan of capital ligatures, but these intersecting capitals are cool! Nice ‘R’s with straight legs and internal curls (Pour & Livre). And the ‘R’ in ‘Paris’!

@girldrawsghosts I’ve had one guy drive onto the parking lot I was crossing and stop me to “ask a question”. When he heard my voice (I hadn’t done any voice training at that point), he made up an excuse about looking for the gym. No idea what he would have done if I had done voice training yet.

Type Beaudoire, 10pt Nº 1 & Nº 2. Fonderie Générale. This is the information I have, but I still don’t know what typeface this is. Does anyone know? Either way, I love the use of cursive letterforms for ‘r’ and ‘s’, the downward spur on ‘q’, and the spur on ‘a’.

One of the coolest ‘fi’ ligatures I’ve seen—the way the starting stroke of the cursive ‘i’ suggests the right side of the bar of ‘f’! Nice interaction between the bottom terminals of ‘i’ and ‘s’ as well. Such a cool typeface in general.

@NoCisgender No one in that thread is saying males can be females and vice versa. They are just pointing out to you that sex is complex and not binary. Sex consists of chromosomal, genetic, and gonadal sex. There can be discrepancies between all three aspects of sex, which defies the binary.
