Do you know what a ‘Zwiebelfisch’ is? This German term refers to a letter printed in a different style or weight than the rest of the text. The term isn’t typically used for lettering – but what do you call the odd letter out on a handlettered sign? And which one is it here? pic.twitter.com/gbp8CeSBYS

Family members in another state discussed donating books to their public library.
I said "Those books are pretty old and extremely specialized, the library might not…"
They insisted the library will be thrilled.
So kudos to whoever was thrilled to receive those boxes this week!— Lousy Librarian (@LousyLibrarian) August 21, 2019
