From Doobybrain:
Last week, the USPS unveiled their 2010 stamp program to the masses and included in the collection was a set of Sunday Funnies that showed Calvin and Hobbes in their signature goof-off poses. If you want to get your hands on some, you’ll have to wait until this coming summer.
We met up with Helena native and New York resident Annie Connole for a great night out of Indian food and a performance by Baby Wants Candy. (Excuse the blurry photos, my camera was set to Inexcusably Blurry Photo mode.)
We jumped in a cab at the apartment and Annie took us to one of her favorite restaurants, Saravanaa Bhavan on Lexington and 26th. Awesome, cheap, huge Indian food. It was literally huge, Annie ordered a dish called paper-something that was a huge crepe roll at least 24 inches long and 6 inches in diameter. Should’a took a photo, but I was distracted by the array of curries and chutneys I’d ordered for myself.
After dinner we jumped into another cab (lux night!) and headed to Baby Wants Candy at the Players Theater. It was a long form improvised musical. In the beginning someone shouts the title of a musical no one has ever seen before: Take it out of your pocket, Sir. Then the four musicians and four performers immediately start to perform the first song. The whole show lasts 60 minutes or so with many songs and characters branching out at first but it was all satisfyingly tied together in the end. It was superb.
A new font family from my favorite type designers Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones was released today. They made Gotham, Obama’s campaign font.
H&FJ is delighted to introduce Vitesse®, a new slab serif in twelve styles.
Slab serifs are one of typography’s most vibrant categories, yet they remain dominated by two ancient forms: the nineteenth century Antique, and the twentieth century Geometric. Both are vital and living genres—we’ve explored each of them, in our Sentinel and Archer type families—but what of the twenty-first century slab? Vitesse revels in the tension between organic letterforms and mechanical grids, and offers designers a distinctive new voice that’s suave, confident, and stylish. Engineered for responsive handling and a sporty ride.
