13 years. What a chapter. A heartfelt thank you to all of the good folks at Monotype—past and present—and to everyone I’ve had the fortune of collaborating with over that time. What’s next? It's time to take the leap and consult with other brands too. Forward, always. – at London, England

The Lord’s Prayer on 12pt type. The Monotype Corporation prided itself on its precision engineering – the surface area measures approx 4mm square and the text itself measures 0.156mm high (NB, one penny coin as reference).

150mile sleigh ride from Brixham to Portsmouth yesterday. Dolphins and trawlers at dawn, 11knots past Portland and some peppery force 7ish stuff past the Isle of Wight surfing into Portsmouth through the lights at 11pm last night. – at Camberwell, London
