@jasonbentley just asked me if typewriters always had monospaced fonts. I didn’t know, but thought it was an interesting question. Here’s a memo written on the first real typewriter, the Sholes & Glidden Type Writer. It uses a sans-serif typeface! (Image via the Office Museum.)

The problem with the dashboard

There’s somebody I follow on Tumblr that continually posts interesting old type examples. Today I went to that person’s Tumblr to reference they’d posted recently (Simmelkiaer Grotesk) and realized…that the Tumblr I thought had all the type references has nothing.

Now I have no idea who’s been posting all those great typefaces. I guess I’ll find out next time they update.
