It’s not the people doing something real
I’ve got a backlog of new work to post, but have to start with these. Quite some time ago the striking similarity between the the shape of DC and the shape of a paper coaster dawned on me, to the tune of The Magnetic Field’s song Washington, DC. I think there are a lot of different versions of these to come, but I’m pretty happy with this first iteration.
Plus, it’s the first time I’ve gotten to use what we call Ziggy font – it’s a rare case of lead type in our collection that’s unmarked – I don’t know what the real name is, but it turned out just as cheesy great as I’d hoped.

that font is called “cooper”
and thank you so much for reminding me that it was used in ziggy. i was just thinking about using it for something at work, and couldn’t for the life of me remember where i’d seen it before!
