Meet FLEXOPLEX, a condensed sans serif inspired by early 20th-century narrow gothics and other industrial lettering. Originally developed to meet the spatial constraints of liquor labeling — where government warnings had to remain legible and registration numbers had to meet strict height requirements — Flexoplex balances vintage utility with contemporary precision. Used for display or text, its compact forms and mechanical tone lend vernacular flair to packaging, editorial design, websites, and film posters. Try it on your next project! Link in bio.

New site, who dis? The wonderful team at @thetypefounders have just launched the beautiful new Typetanic website, on which you can now finally buy my fonts directly for your next project. It also includes my newest type family, “Flexoplex,” a variable-width industrial sans that can go VERY narrow, first used on bottles and cases for @cohassetpunch . Link in bio!

Some more Tri-X film photos from the old Nikon. Looking forward to shooting more with it.

Some more film photos. As always, Nugget, Carter, and Herbie made great—if reluctant—models.

In stressful times, I find the slow, deliberate nature of fully analog/manual film photography to be a nice way to stay sane. Here are a few recents from around town.

I had the privilege of seeing Klairmont Kollections today before it is liquidated this week (@mecum_auctions has got you if you want to bid!). If I had any cash whatsoever this would be Herbie’s new car (a 1969 Plymouth Suburban Wagon, former CPD “Canine Patrol”). More photos to come!
Happy 11th birthday to our sweet Herbie!
The most spoiled little man in all the land. He got a birthday cupcake and a few new toys, as well as the torment of wearing his birthday hat for 2 minutes.
My trip to this year’s @concoursatcopshaholm was quicker than usual, but I still got to see the unveiling of the @studebakermuseum ’s newly-restored 1951 Studebaker Commander from “The Muppet Movie” (1979), and on my way home made my customary shrimp stop at @calumetfisheries (as briefly featured in “The Blues Brothers”).
