Another interesting take of Olive by the Sarony Studio perhaps for her role as a young French woman who poses as a boy in Tolon the Apache (1919). Olive would tragically die of poisoning while vacationing in Paris with her husband Jack Pickford in 1920.

Klinker is a squarish, modular sans typeface designed by Paula Mastrangelo, inspired by the handsome tile lettering found on the facade of a former butcher shop at Obrechtstraat 177 in The Hague. #brutalism #interwarmodernism #dutchtype #brutalypes #destijl >> www.brutaltypes.com/fonts/klinker

“The Purdue student newspaper owns its own presses” is the sound of engines revving

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

Yes, that may well be because of Modern Toss’s extensive use of the font Cooper Black, which the Unch logo is similar to

‘We want to use Unch to showcase the work of setters from a wide variety of backgrounds, and celebrate the online community of setters and solvers we're part of. We feature puzzles by experienced setters every issue, but also aim to highlight newer and up-and-coming setters wherever we can. We aim to be an inclusive and forward-looking publication, and actively encourage puzzles that explore using a wide range of cultural references.’

So, here’s a nice thing I’ve just designed: Unch, a new independent magazine by and for cryptic crossword setters and solvers
Front cover of Unch issue one, the title is set in a big curvy bold font in a teal/turquoise colour and beneath it there’s an extreme close-up photo of part of a crossword grid rotated through 45 degrees Copies of the magazine showing part of the contents page and a spread with a puzzle Inside spreads of the magazine showing a crossword and an article

I don’t talk about my work on here much, which is probably a bit of a mistake
