Typography Tuesday

Before the holidays on December 16, the Milwaukee Public Library held its third Art Book Club session, a informal art book appreciation gathering that meets once a month in the Art, Music, and Recreation Department of the Central Library. The theme for this meeting was "Technology" and there were all manner of beautifully-designed technology books to peruse and ogle over. It was an immersive experience, and of course I was particularly pleased to spend time with the type specimen books.

This week I highlight one of those books, Specimen Book Linotype Faces, published in Brooklyn, New York by the Mergenthaler Linotype Company in 1939. The typefaces displayed here are:

Century Bold, designed by Milwaukee-born Morris Fuller Benton in 1900.

Gothic No. 13, by Morris Fuller Benton ca. 1900.

Franklin Gothic, designed by Benton in 1903.

Metro Light, designed by W. A. Dwiggins in the early 1930s.

Garamond No. 3, originally designed for American Type Founders by Morris Fuller Benton in the late 1910s and licensed to Linotype's American branch around 1936.

Memphis, originally designed for the Stempel Type Foundry by Rudolf Wolf in 1929.

Ulrich's Humble Abode! interior design is my passion you dont understand how little attention ive focused on my exterior

Side note: The layout of my farmhouse, along with the bathroom and the third story floor is from the Seasonal Garden Farmhouse V2 Mod

#stardew valley #stardew valley house #sdv #admittedly ulrich's office being upstairs is very impractical given he can barely use stairs but its okay we work through it #if i have to climb stairs he does too #interior design is my passion #like- the outside of my farm is a fucking mess but if i can yassify the inside I WILL #I imagine Ulrich sits on the livingroom couch and talks to Morris while he's working. Keeps him company! #originally their bedroom was downstairs but Morris's office was such a huge aesthetic clash that I had to change some things around #do you see that child? his name is stefan. he's a little menace. a scammer even. he'll have his own dedicated post eventually #fun fact the violin thing in Ulrich's office is meant to represent his double bass. He's a bassist #i imagine Morris and Ulrich have played Piano and Bass together on numerous occasions kehehe #the furniture is all mods and id be happy to link them if anyone wants them :3

The Gilded Age's Broadway Divas: Anne Morris (Katie Finneran)

Everyone's favorite unlikable snob, Anne Morris was last seen in season one, storming out of Aurora Fane's drawing room in full mourning regalia. Though Katie Finneran's husband may have found his way on the union strikes, she has not been seen on the show since, much to my eternal dismay.

Though seen here as the upright and haughty Anne without a humorous bone in her body, Katie Finneran is Broadway's gift to comedy. Yet another Diva with two Tonys to her name, she transcends categories. Best Featured Actress in a Play (Noises Off), and Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Promises, Promises), both knee-slapping comedies--a particular achievement when statistically dramatic roles are more likely to net awards.

Other notable stage roles include: It's Only a Play (Julie), Annie (Miss Hannigan), and one of the many Sally Bowles replacements in Cabaret, for which, alas, I have found no footage, and only one production still (but I think about it a lot). Most recently, she was in The Thanksgiving Play on Broadway this past spring. I saw it three times. It is quintessentially Katie Finneran unhinged. (And you should all read my fanfiction HERE)

#1: "Getting Married Today," Company (2011)

Starting off strong with yet another Sondheim, Katie Finneran tackled the hardest Sondheim number to master just a few months after giving birth. Playing Amy, a bride-to-be with pre-wedding jitters, Katie delivers comedy gold with her breakdown performance. Anyone who has attempted this nightmare of a number knows that there is no recovering if you get tripped up.

While my favorite rendition of this song remains Madelaine Kahn, now and forever, Katie has the honor of taking second place. This is a mesmerizing performance, and I am terrified for her.

Katie has previously discussed the abject fear of performing this song, compounded with the trials and tribulations of having given birth, and leaking breast milk into the white dress.

#2: "Little Girls," Annie (2013)

Continuing with Katie Finneran's musical theatre comedy breakdown, here she is as reviled woman and beloved character Miss Hannigan from Annie in the 2012 revival. Reviews were largely mixed, and Katie's personal experience was largely overshadowed by having an infant child to take care of, but it's a hell of a number nonetheless.

The show only received one Tony nomination for Best Revival, and lost to Pippin. And yeah, that tracks. After seven months into her run, Katie left the show to pursue a television role, and was replaced by Jane Lynch, who performed at the Tonys, and was then replaced by Faith Prince to close the show.

#3: "The Boy From..." The Lilly Awards Cabaret (2014)

If you're sensing a theme, good. A character actress through and through, Katie enjoys songs she can sink her teeth into, and Sondheim always delivers. This particular number is the most well-known song from a little-known off-Broadway revue called The Mad Show with lyrics semi-anonymously written by Sondheim.

The song is a direct parody of "The Girl From Ipanema," and every character cabaret artist has covered it at some point. It's just a delight.

Katie also performed this song during a mini Gilded Age reunion on Stars in the House during their marathon Ukraine fundraiser. During the course of her time on the show, she flirted with Norman Lear, made out with Seth Rudetsky's husband, and proposed Anne, Dorothy Scott, and Agnes van Rhijn have a threesome in The Gilded Age season two. And I beg you to watch that clip HERE.

#4: "A Fact Can Be a Beautiful Thing," Promises, Promises (2013)

No full clip of this number can be found online, and that was both a massive mistake on the marketing team's part, and a devastation to me personally.

Thirteen years after Christine Baranski delighted Encores! audiences, Katie Finneran stepped up to the plate to deliver a truly unhinged performance which netted her a second Tony. The actress who originated the role in 1968 also won a Tony.

Here Marge MacDougall is a drunk, bold, and leggy barfly who dances on bars, and lifts Sean Hayes up and carries him around whilst dancing in heels. Yeah, Katie Finneran is also very strong. Unfortunately, the wildest parts of her fifteen-minute show-stealing time aren't in this clip. There is a bootleg out there somewhere, I've seen it, and I will dutifully keep looking for it.

#5: "Go To Jail," Broadway Bares XX (2010)

Veering from musical theatre just a little, please enjoy this hammy sketch from the BC/EFA Broadway Bares XX Strip-opoly show of 2010. Though Katie keeps her clothes on, we're treated to a little surprise curtesy of fellow comedy legend Jackie Hoffman.

using a clip from "the electric company" (2009) for journalism tomorrow, and i decided to rewatch the episode the clip was in and my God i forgot how funny francine's summary of "little women" is (granted she was kind of tricked by hector & keith lol). for context, francine and lisa are in a debate as they run for book club president. francine goes:

f: "Little Women" is my absolute favorite book. i've read it over a hundred times. i guess what i love most about "little women" is that it's called "little women", but it's actually about ninjas.

s: i'm sorry. uh. what did you just say?

f: "little women" is the story of a plucky group of tiny, heroic, lady ninjas who band together to defend mt. rushmore. they may be tiny, samantha, but i think they're lady ninjas we can all look up to.

l: excuse me. there are no tiny, lady ninjas in "little women"

f: hahhahahhaha of course there are. nice try, lisa. samantha, you may just wanna go ahead and declare me the winner of this debate.

s: actually, she's right. there are no tiny, lady ninjas in "little women", so.

f: um, of course there are. who else do you think fights off the attacking army of miniture zombie cats?

s: "little women" also has no zombie cats

f: ... no zombie cats, either?

s: yeah. i'm afraid not.

#i CAN'T #that used to be my favorite thing growing up omg #and like the thing is the reason it's SO FUNNY is bc of ashley austin morris #no one else could've been francine tbh #she was SUCH a funny and comical actor but like in an actual funny and comical way #electric company #<<< so i can find this again lol

Can't find an exact date, but it seems to be from the early 70s (I want to say 72 or 73?). GOD I adore this video.

"Well, I hope so."

Quincey P. Morris definitely added "Health to the Company" to his playlist of songs that make him think of his buddy Arthur.

#quincey p. morris #<he also definitely cried listening to Pumpkin Cowboy #dracula daily #rose reads #health to the company #here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well/for her smile and her beauty sure none can excel #there's a smile on her countenance/as she sits on my knee/there's no man in this wide world/as happy as me #(Seward crying about how much he loves Lucy in the background)

🇬🇧 Step into British automotive history with the iconic Morris Minor! Produced by Morris Motors from 1948 to 1971, this beloved economy car captured hearts worldwide.

💷 Established in 1919, the Morris Motors Limited quickly dominated British car production, thanks to innovative assembly methods and strategic financing. Self-financed and later incorporating public ownership, Morris Motors expanded rapidly through smart acquisitions.

🌟 Designed by Alec Issigonis, the Morris Minor debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show in London in October 1948, showcasing its charm and practicality. Over its impressive 23-year production span, the Morris Minor evolved through three series: the Series MM, Series II, and 1000 series, with more than 1.6 million units manufactured.

🚘 Initially available as a two-door saloon and tourer, the range expanded to include a four-door saloon, estate car, and versatile panel van and pick-up truck variants. Celebrated as the first British car to surpass one million units sold, the Morris Minor embodies quintessential "Englishness" and is revered as a classic example of automotive design.

🪙 Despite the introduction of the Morris Mini in 1959, the Minor continued production, playing a vital role in Britain's post-war recovery. Its enduring legacy lives on, earning it a place among the longest-lived single generation cars in history.
