New Faces Around Here

2024-02-20 02:56
After a year of making music instead of fonts, I’m excited to dive back into type design (and maybe chill out on the songs for a while). It felt right to tidy up some loose ends, so th… Read More

Fixing Up The Place

2024-01-20 16:09
Last year was my blue year. I mostly mean that in terms of color, but it definitely applied to my mood more than I care to admit. The old website was nice, it was fine. It gave me a grounded… Read More

Year, Meet Nutshell

2023-12-31 19:30
The past 12 months have been interesting, to put it mildly. While I haven’t written as much I usually do (or would like) I’m here on the last day of the year, with a cup of tea… Read More

20 Years From California

2023-06-07 19:54
I’ve only been to California once. Granted, it was for three months, but that was in 2003 and I haven’t been back since. I loved LA. San Diego, too. I know I would still love it… Read More

FKA Default Sans

2023-04-09 02:58
Choosing what to call a typeface is tricky. I’ve never had to rename one of mine until now. Technically I don’t have to change it, but I’m happy to avoid confusion between… Read More
A Song A Week, Again

A Song A Week, Again

2023-03-16 00:46
Back in the wild year of 2020 I recorded a song every week. I had never attempted a 52 week project, and I actually thought it would be a fun challenge. Never mind the fact that I had an 8 m… Read More

Dropping FBOMBS

2023-03-02 01:11
Two years ago I had an idea to bundle a few single styles of my various fonts into affordable packages and release them somewhat randomly. Well, the idea hasn’t changed much since then… Read More

Latest ≠ Greatest

2023-02-22 19:30
Until far too recently, I operated under the naivety that the most recent things I undertake should be the best they’ve ever been. I’m not sure if this falls under a classic &ldq&hell…Read More

Subject Not Detected

2022-12-21 01:22
I took a little over 12000 photos this year. About 2000 of them are worth editing, saving, and backing up. I’ve said before it’s easy to take a good photo of a person, but withou… Read More

180s

2022-09-16 18:50
My favorite thing about this ever-growing list is that the format doesn’t tell you what my opinion is, only that it has changed. But nothing on this list has changed…twice. That… Read More

Video Vs Screens

2022-07-07 18:54
My favorite things to make usually have a physical and digital form. Take photos, for instance. I can print a lot of them, inexpensively, from my phone (wild). But the ease of texting a pict… Read More

What I’m Doing With Fonts Now

2022-01-20 02:34
This is new, all of it. The URL. The code. The–dare I say…strategy? Even this font I’m typing in. For a long time my website served as a portfolio, or as a blog, and at so… Read More

Doom As I Say Not As I Doom

2021-05-05 16:31
I released another new album as Adventureson. Unlike the January release of Ghost Bones, the latest is much darker, far more anxious. Maybe even more ambitious? The first and last track soun… Read More
Public Type Works Round 2

Public Type Works Round 2

2021-04-29 18:52
At the end of 2019 I launched a web platform called Public Type Works. The goal was simple: get more open source fonts in the world, and pay type designers to do it. I kept it pretty simple… Read More
This Land We Live On

This Land We Live On

2021-04-10 19:29
It’s still strange to me that my wife and I own this house and land that we live on. Partly because the concept of“owning” land (stolen, at that) is weird, and partly becau… Read More

What Do I Do With All These Photos?

2021-04-01 00:57
I take a lot of pictures. Not too many, but probably more than the average person. Most of them come from a camera that isn’t attached to a phone. My current camera–a Fujifilm XF… Read More

Adventurson

2021-03-23 17:50

Glyphs Mini 2 Tutorial

2018-02-14 11:40

Found Free Fonts

2017-12-15 16:40

Profit, Loss, And Personal Satisfaction

2017-08-10 14:12
I’ve spent a lot of time over the years thinking about how I get by. Many of those years I was an employee with a salary. Some years were 100% freelance/product focused, and that&rsquo&hell…Read More

Atlantic At Acadia

2017-07-31 21:30

Fixed-Width Friends

2017-06-12 19:46

Big Update To Gluten

2017-03-24 20:53
I still have a soft spot for Gluten, now more than ever. Literally. Figuratively. In food, especially, but I’m talking about my font. I’ve recently been in the habit of… Read More

Type On Type

Freebies

Photos Of 2016

2016-12-31 17:52
This is a year-in-review through my pictures. Unlike last year’s recap (where I wrote that I should take more video) this is a page of still imagery. I’ve posted some of these to… Read More

Faux Poster Font Experiment

2016-11-01 18:22
I’m going to try something new with upcoming typeface releases: overdramatic fake movie posters. So I set out to make a simple design and realized that if you keep it vague enough (min… Read More

NY State Fair 2016 Edition

2016-10-04 20:18
The last hurrah of summer. A beautiful day, not the 90º+ temps we had dealt with for most of summer. And on a Thursday. It starts with the bus ride to the gate, and ends with collective… Read More

An UPSTNY Font

2016-09-28 00:32
I was late to join my local (Upstate NY) AIGA chapter, and even later to hop on the chapter’s Slack list. Deplorable, I know, but I tried to make up for it by proposing a collaboration… Read More
