survivaltest asked: I'm looking for a shit-hot graphic designer who specialised in typography for a job I'm working on. How much do you charge?

And one more ask published before I disappear into the night. Go forth and network.

Anonymous asked: I'm really confused on how you can be passionate enough about a subject to make a tumblr on it, but not enough to pick up a book and learn about it, so you aren't so 'clueless' Seems strange.

“I like them pictures with the words on ‘em” is why I run this blog, but that makes a crappy tagline. The old tagline (“I’m not a graphic designer, I just play one on TV”) was even worse, y'all. For an interested layman, I know more than enough to get me by–it’s not as though, over the course of three years of typography blogging, I’ve entirely avoided learning about it. I started this blog to learn. 

I just like to keep up a facade of charming bloggerly naïveté (c.f. this) to deflect most serious graphic design inquiries. 

the secret……….. is out

helvetica-nue asked: Hi, great blog, I'm thinking about having a theme around your spectrum, About how many followers do you have?

This would be immensely vulgar of me to answer, but I got so excited about this that I had to post it twice, so it’s not like we’re dealing with a lean mean class machine here. 

livingfactionless asked: do you do tutorials on typography?? im confused what this blog is about! sorry for sounding dumb :(

Nope! I find typographical images on the internet and post them once or twice or three times a day, depending on when I can be arsed, these past few months.
