Introducing “Collins,” a new #shapenote music #typeface for “The Sacred Harp: 2025 Edition.” Designed by me @slantedhall in collaboration with the Sacred Harp Music Publishing Company.

And first shown at #CampFasola on 1 July 2025. Another talk to be given at “Revising the #SacredHarp Symposium” on 12 September 2025, day before the debut singing from the new edition.

Lovely to hear the interest and excitement from both the community and at @typecon #typedesign

278 "Love Shall Never Die" from yesterday's all-day sing in Malden Creek, PA! Altos are loud in this one since it was right in front of our section

And am I born to die?
To lay this body down!

#SacredHarp #ShapeNote #Idumea

A #Shapenote tune for #TuneTuesday - because "Sacred Harp is a cappella heavy metal!" (H. Grundner)

The theme #TravellingTunes fits the genre very well, so it's hard to pick one:

#SacredHarp 108 The Traveler

Trav’ler haste, the night comes on,
Many a shining hour is gone;
Storm is gathering in the west,
And you are so far from home.

Oh, come, trav’ler, haste away,
You must walk while it is day.
Oh, come, trav’ler, haste away,
You will find in Christ the way.
