Recently I have been gaining an interest in and appreciation of the art of Typography, fonts, typefaces and all things typographical, as well as printing and book making in general.
This picture is of the last page of the Chris Abani book in the previous photo in my stream.
Most of us are not even aware of the difference between serif and san serif fonts and how each is used. As I look at this Flickr page, there are no serif fonts other than those in the picture above. (Oops. The Yahoo logo at the top left has serifs in its characters.) The main reason for that is apparently the displaying of serif fonts on a computer screen causes the font to be distorted.
If you Look At This Wikipedia Link you can quickly learn the difference between serif and san serif fonts and why the latter is used on computer displays. However, I think that with the advent of better computer screens (a la HD) we may begin to see serif fonts more on websites.

I got this Mapleine Cookery book today. The bookstore I ordered it from said it was from the 30s or 40s, but based on the typography and illustration, I'd put it in the 1920s to early 30s at most. It is in near mint condition -- barely ever opened -- and contains a flyer for "Pickles Like Grandmothers!" (sic.)
I have a bottle of Mapleine so I will be trying something from this book for ResurrectedRecipes.com. I wonder which recipe I should try?

Make Something Cool Every Day is a personal, (ideally-) daily design exercise wherein I churn out type-centric black and white drabbles using song titles, the Univers type family (Kozuka Gothic for Japanese type) and some wonderful images from Wikimedia Commons.
From the caption: «Calligraphic New Year wishes, 1920. Etching, actual size. In 1920 Tschichold was eighteen: his skill as a calligrapher from an early age was remarkable.»
I created this playful typography to use for advertising my own dog walking business. I experimented with creating a paw print incorporating text. By using a range of brown tones I was able to depict dry mud on the lettering and added two animalistic characters from the remaining letters.
