Woman Crush.

Here’s hoping this is a first bit of publicity for a new album…?

I made a public version of my Tumblr theme →

It’s still awaiting moderator approval (and for all I know may need to be renamed… there are 1200+ themes out there)… but meanwhile:

I’m mainly excited to share:

- toggle-able drop shadows for images

- margin-setting for left/right aligned images

- individually customizable fonts for blog title, post titles, body text, and widgets

Guide and examples here. Let me know what you think!

Some rather beautiful London Underground infographics from the early ~~1900’s~~ 1900s.

Love these.

Here, I fixed that apostrophe for you, Internet.

Over Thanksgiving my parents’ dog knocked against a bookshelf, and out fell boarding passes from the summer of 1978. None of us knew we had them, or remembered intending to keep them.

Even little details have the sepia of another era, surprisingly (to me) remote: my mother’s boarding pass refers to her by my father’s first initial; no-smoking sections are special dispensations from the norm (and separated only by curtains). But the only praise I remember, even then, for cars like that snazzy blue rental was in advertisements.

And what a terrible airline Allegheny was, down to its margins, leading, and kerning.

HOT DAMN!

This is fun. Check out the Movie Title Stills Collection where you can peruse stills from movie titles from 1900 and onwards. Great typography and movie history all in the same place. Additionally, browse by collection and look at all the titles and typefaces of Marilyn Monroe’s movies, Type of the Remake, or Type of the Sequel. This is a fantastic library and a beautiful site by Christian Annyas.

DIGGITY DAMN!

This is a black hole of awesome.

The box for this ’80s Braun motion detector* suggests that among its many uses are:

Schützt Kinder vor Gefahrenquellen (“protecting children from hazards”)
Sicherung der Wohnung, wenn man im Garten ist (“securing the property when it is in the garden”).

*long, old story, involving a stolen purse, how I happen to have this.
