The fact that the triple dagger symbol — the third in the set [†, ‡, ⹋] — has been part of #Unicode for over half a decade and yet is still not supported by most fonts is criminal. Criminal I say! Who wants to use "§" as the next level of notation when a symbol that matches the preceding two is available instead?

(This has been this week's installment of obscure and inane #typography complaints.)

The triple dagger-symbol along with the all-caps text "triple dagger". While the normal dagger symbol looks like a dagger, and the double dagger looks like two daggers pointing their blades at each other, the triple dagger looks like a "dagger" that has no blades and is instead made out of three handles with crossguards.

The next update will involve new styles for Electronic Change and a few new characters, as I now feel the lack of punctuation a priority.

Very happy with this style so far (tiny preview in picture). Altrough letters like B or R are not recognizable, this seems to add to the whole aesthetics.

Is it just us or is something a bit off with the kerning/spacing in regards to the Apple Vision Pro logo? Or is it just the V next to the the 🍎 that is trowing us off?

#Typography tips:

* Multiplication symbol: 3× (not 3x), 1024×768 (not 1024x768)
* Curly quotes: “Hello!” (not "Hello!")
* Curly apostrophe: don’t (not don't)
* En dash for ranges: 3–4 people (not 3-4 people), Paris–London (not Paris-London), etc.
* Break in sentence: space+en dash+space or em dash (sometimes with spaces):
And – I think – that’s good.
And—I think—that’s good.

Mnemonic for curly quotes: 66 and 99. Mnemonic for apostrophe: 9

Once you see these differences, you can’t unsee them.

Two very different #fonts, used together on the poster for an event by record labels Whities and Die Orakel at Offenbach’s techno club #RobertJohnson in 2018.

Design by Alex McCullough, art director of Whities (since 2020: AD 93), using Dinamo’s then yet unreleased ABC Oracle and Strassburg Fraktur, Peter Wiegel’s digitization of an engraved alphabet from 1788.

The red poster with black text features a coarse reproduction of a lion passant, in pink with black contours. “Whities + Die Orakel” at the top and “Robert Johnson” at the bottom combine the sans-serif Oracle with flourished initials from Strassburg Fraktur. Above the lion: “Saturday 26–05–2018”. Below, and much bigger, the names of the DJs: “Bambonou. Oliver Hafenbauer. Tasker. Jaures.” At the bottom, a text about heraldy, set in small type in three justified columns with a drop cap, wrapped around the club’s name.

It’s my Improbability of Puffins, my submission for Pressing Matters Magazine #pressingmattersinsert23 of black and orange prints!

I love this term of venery for puffins (who are indeed improbable looking sea birds). It’s part of my series of prints of groups of animals and the weird and wonderful collective nouns to describe them.

@drj We have a winner! Well done, David.

#CarolTwombly (b. 1959) is the designer of Trajan, Lithos, Charlemagne (all in 1989), Adobe Caslon (1990), Myriad (1992, together with Robert Slimbach), Chaparral (1997), among other #typefaces. Sadly for the world of #typography, she retired from #TypeDesign in 1999, to focus on her other design interests, involving textiles and jewelry.
