Tonight we had the second Type Seattle meet-up, with its somewhat more formal format than a simple pub gathering. (Not that there's anything wrong with those!) It's good to have a regular event for the local type community again, after the long Covid-induced lacuna.

Last week, we had another pub gathering of Seattle typographers, organized by Andrea Leksen and Aaron Bell. It's great to be getting together again, after such a long post-pandemic drought. Aaron has plans for a more formal regular event, too.
