Cynthia Batty collection of ATF stuff. At the end of the weekend, all that stuff fond new owners very easily. I got the *y* on top right on the image.


Eulas discussions bring several proposals for tools to create necessary licence table to add to fonts. That’s a great idea.


The newspaper room is so crowded that…


…some like John Downer, decided to stay out of that jungle…


…but others enjoyed, such Thomas Phinney, Erik Speikermann, and Simon Daniel who don’t hesitated to joint the jungle.


The conference is a good place to announce any kind of Type families. Carolina Laudon little boy is pretty cute.

  1. that last picture (of 2 pictograms standing on stairs) is easily explained:

    In order to use these stairs, you need to

    a. have very broad shoulders
    b. have one hand cut off at right angles and the other with a radius (see arrows)
    c. people with one leg longer than the other have to lift that one slightly to fit onto the step
    d. heads have to be wider than tall and clearly separated from the body.

  2. The explanation is simple. The black text in English means “please hold the rubber hand rail”, the red one “Don’t run”.
    The red arrows mean the same as the black text. The green arrow means that you should go on the left side if you want to forego standing persons (and standing persons therefore should be on the right side of an escalator).

  3. These is classical German escalator poem:

    “Links gehen, rechts stehen.”

    but in Czech übergehosen.

  4. Ah. I didn’t have a chance to see the metro in Prague. But at least you took some photos which now explain to me the odd comparison of Barbarella to the metro.

  5. Nice to see these photos, Jean François! But, you say that you got the “y” from Cynthia’s ATF matrices. Well, I’m looking at exactly the same piece here on my desk in Bolzano. Maybe there was more than one?
    Erik v.B. looks like he’s either rolling a joint (those Dutch guys!), or playing Nintendo. Does Nintendo give you enlarged pupils?
    ;-)
