My contribution is second row second column. As it was meant as a body text face, and I do not believe too much in typographical detail anyway, It has a clear rhythm, supported by the seris. I show a text sample: left part without any kerning, right part (partim) with "optical kerning" in InDesign. More on the evolution to this typeface on this Flickr set. Maybe listen to some music at it .

Demasiado.
Hoy me ha hecho sonreír: pararme a pensar en las distintas formas que tenemos de ver nuestras luces internas y expresar algo con ellas. Cuando las vemos proyectadas en un cielo casi pintado a pincel, o brocha gorda. Cada uno como quiera y como guste de hacerlo. Y las compartimos. Y son el mismo, las mismas y a la misma hora, qué otra si no. Y a la vez todas distintas. Yo rojo, o rosa o azul, yo amarillo con un árbol, yo violeta con naranja y una sombra de perfil, yo un mar, tú hasta el barco.
Hoy me ha hecho sonreír: encontrar un elefante en mi archivo olvidado que saluda con la trompa estirada y nos dice que soñemos mucho más. Que en el cielo no está el límite si no quieres ponértelo. Hoy me he enamorado de ese elefante que vuela y desaparece al instante. Con la tropa encogida por esa sonrisa que te dedica. Mientras vuelve a ser nada. Y algún tipo de ave migratoria nos recuerda que allá donde queramos debemos intentar llegar. Que lo mejor, siempre, es el camino.
Felices sean las noches positivas. Después de días tan negros y grises como el que ha sido hoy, aún más. Mua.
Remaining memories...
Sorry my friends, I have a little time to dedicate myself to Flickr. I wish everyone all the best and good light.

Today (10/28/15) I had a procedure (at Mission Hospital in Asheville NC) to remove a filter that had been placed in the inferior vena cava (IVC) vein after I had a pulmonary embolism on June 26, 2015. This was the second attempt to remove it; both attempts were unsuccessful. The doc today said he could get it out, but since it had migrated from the IVC to a neighboring vein in which it was now embedded, forcing a removal would risk damaging the vein. Stressful, especially since before the first attempt one week ago, I was given two sedatives, one a narcotic, that knocked me for a loop; it took almost a week to recover. Today, thank God, they used only Lidocaine at the site in my neck where the instruments intended to remove the filter were inserted. So, I'm now the bionic woman with an IVC filter for the remainder of this lifetime. I came home and ate 2 cups of ice cream and 17 ginger snaps! I've resolved not to enter the hospital again for any reason.
A snowy grey day in Montreal; Lady Vervaine is cruising along in a car, thinking that the world has been drained of all colour – when suddenly this pops up.
Quilt inspired by the song "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Used Elizabeth Haugh's Refrigerator Magnets pattern for the alphabet but adjusted it for paper piecing. Fabrics are Anna Maria Horner's Little Folks (voile) and Kona in Charcoal.

Got up at 6ish this morning, knowing it would be at least as cold as yesterday. It was about 10 below Celsius, with a lovely pink sunrise. I loved the ice on the inside of my sunroom. Oh for a D90!

I am working with a few different fonts that I will route on the prototype. I have to print the lyrics on graph paper, then use carbon paper to trace the text onto the wood- only then can the routing fun begin!

DAY 6
On our way to another exhibition, I spot this in the facade of a house. A bas-relief in terracotta, trying to figure out what it represents, a building-master with his planner?
All in good old Flemish bricks! LOL
I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

It's very much a Balinese habit to provide what the people want, at a sensible mark-up. :-)
As the years go by, and more of the genuine antiques from this part of the world have been exported... there's always a good market for imitation.
The day I took this photo I saw some women on the side of the road hosing down new statues and 'distressing' them with hard brushes, but also stacks of statues and carvings of different types that had fallen out of fashion and were just left to rot outside.
It's that mismatch again, where local labour is very cheap, especially compared to the availability of time and focus from tourists.
That's not to say there aren't genuine items to be found, but it takes some digging.
Censored cover. - Toulouse is a town in the South West and the South of France - it is now the chief town of the department of Haute-Garonne.
POW - Prisoner of War - Johann Johannsen at Petawawa Camp 33 - 1942-1943 - Johann Johannsen was a Harbour Captain at Bandar Pahlevi on the Caspian Sea - during the invasion by British and Soviet forces he was detained in Persia in 1941 - and ended up in the POW Camp 33 in Petawawa, Ontario, Canada - in Sept of 1943 he was transferred to a POW Camp No. 13 in Great Britain - after that I don't know what happened. Most of the letters I have were written to his wife Erna Johansen who lived in Hamburg Germany....this is my small collection...

The image displays a vintage envelope sent to an address in Toulouse, France, during a period of German occupation. The envelope features various postal and censorship markings, most notably several German Wehrmacht censor stamps.
Destination: The letter was addressed to an "Hopitaux Affrétele" (likely a hospital freight service) and addressed to a person named "Dumas" at 23, rue Demouilles in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), France.
Censorship: The envelope has been opened and resealed with a paper strip featuring multiple "Geöffnet" (Opened) stamps from the "Oberkommando der Wehrmacht" (Armed Forces High Command).
Historical Context: The presence of Wehrmacht censorship marks indicates the mail was processed during the German occupation of France, which included a demarcation line where mail was subject to review by censors.
Postal Marks: Red circular stamps, one with the number "222", are visible, along with other handwritten numbers and partial stamps.

This item is a World War II German-censored envelope from occupied France. The markings are related to the extensive postal censorship system established by Nazi Germany during the war to prevent the dissemination of sensitive information.
Markings Analysis
Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW): The central element of the sealing tape across the middle is a Nazi eagle-and-swastika emblem surrounded by the German text "OBERKOMMANDO DER WEHRMACHT" (Armed Forces High Command). This indicates the mail was processed by the supreme military command's censorship department.
"Geöffnet" Markings: The German word "Geöffnet" (Opened) appears repeatedly on the sealing tape. This confirms the letter was physically opened, screened for sensitive content, and then resealed by the censors.
Origin and Destination: The handwritten address indicates the letter was sent from Toulouse, in the Haute-Garonne department of France, to an addressee named "Raphaële Dumas" at "23, rue Demouilles".
Censor Station: German censorship stations were assigned specific letter codes. The circular red handstamps on the cover, particularly where the tape crosses, may contain a small letter code underneath the swastika that identifies the specific censor station (e.g., 'b' for Berlin, 'e' for Frankfurt, 'l' for Lyon). This cover likely passed through a station responsible for mail between France and neutral countries or Germany.
Historical Context
During WWII, mail to and from occupied territories and neutral countries was subject to strict monitoring to detect any military, economic, or political information that could be useful to the enemy. The Oberkommando der Wehrmacht oversaw all military operations in the western theater, and its censorship operation was a key part of maintaining security.
This envelope is a historical artifact valued by collectors of postal history due to its clear censorship markings and its connection to a specific location in wartime France.
