I suppose this is an odd way to lead off a blog ostensibly on text messaging, but we did have mildly relevant posts before I burned them in a Wordpress upgrade.
Onwards: a friend challenged me on my apparent loathing of all things variegated. I brushed it off, but it gnawed at me and I realized I’m not sufficiently open-minded when it comes to type. Not everything can be black, white and Helvetica.
I’m afraid that I don’t have the sources for these images, so if you spot them, please do leave a comment here or on Flickr. Alternatively, if you see a reason to pull them down, please do the same.
