Can’t believe how well this came out, this fellow created a font by taking an average of the fonts he had on his machine (not a straightforward process). The result is Avería:

So if e-reader screens are bad for learning because they are so good, and Comic Sans is good for learning because it’s so bad, can you just run Comic Sans on your e-reader and call it a wash?

A new McSweeney’s short imagined monologue: I’m Comic Sans, Asshole.

Readability gets even better, adding Typekit support. I like Style=Athelas, Size=Medium, Margin=Wide.

Had to post this for the Deadwood connection: Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency letterhead.

The Times Skimmer is a great way to skim The New York Times. Note that you can use the up/down arrow keys or j/k to page up and down. Also, tech-type note, they are serving up their signature fonts—Cheltenham and Franklin—via Typekit.

I really like Public Gothic:

I little aggregator-driven coincidence. Yesterday brought me the Love/Hate mirror image t-shirt, and today this U R Fantastic shirt. If $40 is a little rich for your blood and you don’t care if it’s a “limited edition”, you can go for a $20 misprint. (via josh spear)

I thought maybe I could use TinEye reverse image search to track down a store, but no dice (very cool that it found all those matches, though). Feature suggestion for TinEye: after identifying pages where the image exists, let me then search the text of those pages (e.g. “store”, in this case).

Wow, Cufón sounds like the money choice for text replacement:

1. No plug-ins required – it can only use features natively supported by the client
2. Compatibility – it has to work on every major browser on the market
3. Ease of use – no or near-zero configuration needed for standard use cases
4. Speed – it has to be fast, even for sufficiently large amounts of text

I’ve tried sIFR and typeface.js and neither quite fit the bill. Looking forward to giving this one a try. (via swissmiss)

If you are a fan Jarratt Moody’s typographic Pulp Fiction mashup, now you can buy the t-shirt version. (via josh spear)

I've lately fallen in love with old typewriter fonts. Here are two of my favorites:

The header is Depot, the body is Asha.
