Apparently, a website of typographic humor perpetuates the critical stereotype that type design is ineffectual and pointless. The jokes exhibit “a distasteful disregard for the rich lexicon that typographic history has brought about.” Humor is a threat to those serious in the craft of typography. I apologize hesitatingly to the typographic community for my grave offense — I thought it was acute gesture of typographic appreciation.

After a few posts in the dark, I'm quietly announcing the launch of another website on type. It's called <a href="http://notes.salsen.com">Notes on Type</a>. It'll function as a notebook of things I've learned, noticed, designed, and developed regarding lettering and typography. We'll see how it goes. Hope yall enjoy!
