my studio: i heart tufte

My collection of Tufte works (it's killing me that I'm missing The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, 2nd edition), Arboretum by David Byrne, makes my heart smile, God stuff that I dip into once and a while, little book I found in a thrift store in Seattle a hundred years ago. My great, great grandma's cook book published in 1887! My grandma Alma's birthday book. A thank you card from a friend.

fontstruct: design your own type

FontStruct is a free font-building tool. Be still my heart! One of my creative goals this year is to design my very own typeface. This is my idea of a killer app. Typography freaks unite.
