> Lettering design I did for my high school yearbook in 1974.
Anyone else get an optical illusion effect from this? Looks like it's continually zooming out to me.
yeah, that’s called chromostereopsis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis
Same. Those colors were an intentional (and effective) choice
I took a look and it's probably a color isoluminance effect.
Ah, that's the guy who designed my favorite typeface. I once ran a weekly newspaper that was about 70% Etna. It's a fabulous family, lots of character (and characters - heh) while still crazy versatile.
TFA is about letters, not programming in Haskell like I had assumed
One is fascinated by how others can be enthralled by something that seems, at first blush, so much polishing of the cannon ball.
But that's OK. The world is a better place for not being ruled by my bland tastes.
If I had to design a typeface, I'd bring back retro characters like thorn: Þ.
Thorn would solve so many problems.
For example, how do I write an h sound after t?
