Fluffy stuff

I can’t seem to find it anymore, but Trader Joe’s had a macadamia cashew nut butter that went well with marshmallow creme. Made a fluffernutter better than with peanut butter. Marshmallow Fluff is the stuff to use. Here’s a cookbook too.

Dürer fonts

Albrecht Dürer’s contribution to typography took capitals in new directions.

His books on proportions, De Symmetria Partium in Rectis Formis Humanorum Corporum (books on the normal proportions of the parts of the human form) with Underweysung der Messung (instruction in measurement) cover drawing of human form, perspective – with a dissertation on Roman caps as well as gothics.

Both can be snagged in hi-res digital form from Octavo. Their Graphic Arts Bundle option also includes editions from Giabattista Bodoni (1740-1813), Geofroy Tory (c. 1480-1533) and Owen Jones (1809-74).

Dürer’s original letters exist today in the following fonts:

[1] Dürer Caps from P22

[2] Hands on Albrecht from URW

[3] Albrecht Dürer Gothic from Scriptorium
