Fortunately, to take my mind off of recent events, I have a special engagement to attend this afternoon. I am privileged (and somewhat nonplussed) to have been invited to my daughter’s grade three art class. Through a series of ongoing events and conversations that started last school year, Molly’s teacher finally convinced me to come into the classroom and do some art stuff with the kids. So this afternoon, a roomful of eight and nine year olds are going to learn the basics of typeface design and decorative lettering. Yes, you can blame me for yet another generation of humans perpetuating the use of drop-shadowed display lettering. But darn the diphthongs… every single one of them is going learn what the heck an ogonek is too.
