Thoughts on an empty space
As the world kept him thinking in turns so would the blank, empty, undiluted space in the upper right corner of his unimaginative American blog. It left itself for last - as if it knew it was much too smart for him - as if the search bar that had once been there was an overture to another space in time - as if that corner meant more than it really did.

Looking into the future through a rearview mirror.
I love everything about this video - aesthetically it hits for me on almost every count: music, process, letterpress, booze, promotion - it’s really perfect. Beyond all that I find a special satisfaction in that it celebrates a way of working that predates the digital - a time when a font was something you held in your hands. It’s important to look back - to live for a moment or two in what was and understand it’s timelessness. Only by doing this can we ever really hope to understand where we’re going.
