2. Well, all type becomes unreadable, if gets small enough. But you can carefully choose that moment, or just let it happen. Probably someone else will tell you.
3. Better to pay attention to the bus when you’re close, and not to the ads on its flank. There is a reason they make them red.This Readable Objects animation: handdrawn, mixed media but mostly in Procreate May 2026. More animations on https://letterror.com/tv/

Another small thing I realized is being taken away by AI. Insignificant in the big picture, but still another AI killjoy.
When my kids and I see handwritten text, we try to see if it was a font or true lettering. I'd point out if letters were exactly the same, or if perhaps alternates might be at play. If not, it was probably lettering. A fun little game to play with so many letters around us in the real world.
But AI today seems to make its own "lettering" when generating text in an image. And this adds enough irregularities in the letters to make it seem like handmade lettering. The initial joy of "hey cool, they took the effort to craft something" is now being extended by "...or is this AI generated". I don't like it.

Art/Typography question: MC Escher signed most of his work with a glyph that looks like this.
I once knew the whole alphabet in this form but am failing to find it online. Can someone help me out?

CW: Wordle solution
@CurlyParakeet I think it must be an American English spelling, as seen here on a detail of this panel painted for me in 2020 by the wonderful Mark Oatis: https://bl.ag/behind-the-panel-alf-becker-at-lockdown-letterheads/

Of course, I can’t post that sign without some lettering commentary. It’s a nice example of a classic thick-thin sign painter’s gothic, lit with a single stroke (unfortunately) of neon at night. The “DISTINCTIVE SERVICE” is particularly handsome.
And in the window happens to be a link to another relative. Dunford Bakery was founded in the late 1920s by Hazel Love Dunford. My uncle, Doug Dunford, was a third generation owner of the company. They’re still around today (https://www.dunfordbakers.com/history.php) & maybe oughtta return to that script logo.

Got a calligraphy book in the mail and have been leaning into gothic lettering when I have some free moments to doodle. This ‘s’ and ‘k’ are probably the best in that style I’ve done so far.
