@nprofile1q... thanks, Jérémy! for a while I thought this version would never see the light of day 🙃
I'm tired, overwhelmed, and at a loss for words... so I'll leave you with some images to celebrate ZC Casual's graduation! this was my first collaboration in the type world and my retail debut back in 2018 (thanks @nprofile1q...). it's crazy how time flies, how much I've learned, and everything that went down along the way—I'll make sure to honor it with a proper process post soon, but today I'm just feelings ❤️

@nprofile1q... I’ve lived in 4 places in 3 different continents in the last 6 years… I should probably consider buying a boat at this rate.

Just counted and this will be the 12th time I move places in my life, for an average of 3 years in each place. That's not much.
@nprofile1q... honestly afraid of doing this math 🫠

friends! it's really happening. this may–june I'll be in Paris, The Hague, Amsterdam, and Berlin running my very own ZimFest. I mean, I couldn't cross the Atlantic to give only one talk. thanks @nprofile1q... for inspiring this tour and @nprofile1q..., @nprofile1q..., @nprofile1q... for hosting more conversations. final dates and details coming soon, but let me know if you'd like to connect or book a 1:1 consultation session (that I'm candidly calling type therapy). ah! and of course, expect WiT mixers in most, if not all, cities 😄

lovely people, what are good resources documenting capital ligatures in Roman stone inscriptions?
@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... agreed. the gap got bigger. 2010 was a different landscape. Google alone shifted things massively post-2019. plus bigger saturation, pricing erosion. I also don't know many that started in the last 5 years and scaled... maybe Nan?
@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... they feed each other, but I'd say structurally ties to what @nprofile1q... and Doug were discussing in parallel: distribution controlled by giants, no middle market, systems built for scale over craft.
@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... true. technically easier. economically/structurally harder.
@nprofile1q... it's both comforting and quite scary to know I am not imagining things—especially considering your experience and inside view. but I truly hope we can open more conversations and find some answers together.
