libraries are such an important space
not only for free information, but especially for at risk populations and homeless populations
they offer free or very cheap internet access (which allows for finding resoucres, job applications, etc), free access to information, bathrooms, often places have refreshments for relatively cheap as well, etc. etc.
wanting to make public libraries obsolete is classist and just an incorrect viewpoint tbh
I guess the thing that I'm bugged by is that these are legal documents that we executed regularly, and having a uniform template style across agreements, to my eye, reflects professionalism. It's jarring to have a standard font style but for one weird-ass document.
Of course, my university went hogwild and hired a firm to *design three new fonts* for their marketing campaign, all of which are hideously ugly abominations based on some sort of 70s retrofuturist aesthetic
Ha! I didn't know that.
Oof, Baskerville old face is bad news
It's just that we have a dozen or more templates, all in Calibri 10.5 (why 10.5? why not 11?), and this one in friggin Cambria and it makes me nuts
But then I'm a sans serif kinda guy.
I am now the reluctant owner of a team-wide template document
But that means I get to choose the damn font

My synthpop band Northern Nomads played a pretty great show on Tuesday night, which was surprisingly well-attended for being the Tuesday after Memorial Day.
Playing live gets harder to coordinate with two working parents and 3 year old twins, but I love doing it. And it's kind of fun being the old guy in the band. https://linernotes.club/media/vsBP8k7Phgcscu2XFvo
