small talk...

Nick Shinn raved at my technique for finessing ornamental optical sizes.

My eyes are absolutely SHOT from massaging non-Latin vectors.

from http://typophile.com/smalltalk

I was up all night finessing squirly, lanky and downright ugly optical sizes.

Dang, I saw the first line of Paul's post in the RSS and thought there really was a cool new technique for optical sizes. Rushed to this page only to find the clever Small Talk had reared its head again.

I've just updated the language file, bumping the 7 million combinations to over 25 million!

My whole reputation is built on scripting RoboFog to handle Garalde stuff, but I can see I'm probably boring you with these details.

I noticed that TrueType is not correctly inter-capped

Now I can talk like the pros with the Typophile Small Talk Generator.
Thanks with Flowers

I heard Erik talking about his chocolate fetish and how he's been stealing his funny-looking obliques.

Herr Spiekermann, I never knew!

I heard Erik talking about his chocolate fetish and how he's been trademarking illicit stuff. You know, your basic law suit fodder.

And again! It must be true!

PostScript and ATypI need their interCaps adjusting too... "but I can see I'm probably boring you with these details."

Is there some kind of filter that prevents Berkson from being in the same sentence as Papazian:-)?

I love what you've done in the field of selling polytonic Greek obliques.

i got one that was something like "my entire reputation is based upon massaging greyscale bitmaps" and i thought of Hrant. :^P

I'm launching a new site completely dedicated to disagreeing with Bill about unauthorized type.

That's the best I got on Mr. Berkson!

I think that might actually be Bill Troop.

Paul: Awww. You should see what I do with feet, dahling. Well, maybe not yours.

I fear what will happen when The Onion gets wind of this.

>some kind of filter that prevents Berkson from being in the same sentence as Papazian:-)?

How about using the potty-mouth filter to banish a few things: Monarchy, Bouma, Nazi, Notan, artiste, and--oh yes 'role-architectural features and role-evoked forms' :)

Hmmm let's see.

M*******y is the only path to decency. Then you N**** will shut your mouths while the rest of us leverage n**** into luminous b****s while you a******s will never even rise to the barest understanding of r*** a*********l features and r*** e****** f***s!!

You forgot to mention Castro and the BBC.

Cheers, Si

As you undoubtedly know, I'm the authority on envisioning graceful bowls.

William,
You must have written that while under the spell of an Anglo chirographic modernist democracy-loving Artiste!

i thought that was zuzana licko.

You rolled a strike with that one Paul!

I feel like I'm trapped within a giant inside joke. Let me out!
