cartophile (via hammerandcode):
Some people look at cold metal type and see words to print on paper. New York artist Hong Seon Jang looks at metal type and sees a miniature cityscape. Labyrinth, a current exhibition of Jang’s installations is on view at the David B Gallery in Denver through June 16th. Among his contemporary works on display, Type City is Jang’s sprawling metalopolis seaport made of tall lead type buildings and boulevards bisecting the city into a topographic and typographic landscape. With the patience of a skilled hand typesetter, he set the tall buildings of metal type upright so they are capped with individual letters.

A comparison of the new Apple font Menlo with DejaVu Sans Mono. Menlo replaces Monaco as the default monospaced in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, released this Friday.
I’ll still be using the lovingly tended pre-8.5 copy of Monaco 9 (complete with one-pixel full stops, not the horrific four-pixel version they introduced way back when) that I keep in ~/Library/Fonts. Anti-aliased type for programming? Thanks, but no thanks.
