ive seen people make the connection between anti-transfemininity and homophobia & how a lot of homophobia is inherently anti-transfem. & while i disagree with the idea that homophobia is like, anti-transfemininity Lite, its um. interesting to me that the people who will say that gay men are attacked because of their proximity to transfeminity don't say the same about lesbophobia and anti-transmasculinity. because a lot of lesbophobia is inherently anti-transmasc; a lot of lesbophobic violence is done under the assumption that lesbians "want to be men" or "think they are men" (and some do). that's clearly anti-transmasc. it's clearly about punishing perceived transmasculinity, regardless of whether the victim identifies or would have identified as transmasc/a trans man. and yet i've never seen anyone make this connection or point out how so much lesbophobia involves the punishing of perceived transmasculinity. hmmm i wonder why. anyways.
American Type Founders (ATF), established in 1892 with the merger of 23 type foundries, was the predominant producer of metal type in America for the first 50 years of its existence, and remained influential in the industry almost until its closing in the early 1990s. In its heyday, this conglomeration of foundries produced about 85 percent of all type manufactured in the United States at the time. As a behemoth type manufacturer, it also had most of the nation's top type designers producing original typefaces for the foundry, including Will Bradley, Frederic Goudy, Oz Cooper, T.M. Cleland, and the prolific Morris Fuller Benton, who was also the head of the ATF design department.
This ATF type specimen book, Book of American Types, published in 1934 presents some of the "Standard Types" offered by ATF. As the Preface notes:
During the last decade there has been a period of experimental effort in typography the influence of which at times has carried us a long way from the traditional past. . . . No type specimen book can ever be complete in the strictest sense. As printing proceeds, new designs enter the early stages of preparation. Alphabets from leading artists and from our own pre-eminent staff of designers are being continually studied in the effort to anticipate style trends. . . . Change is inherent in progress and every effort will be made to have these separate specimens reflect the most recent trends while at all times maintaining the highest typographic standards.
This statement, along with the title and the name of the corporation, place an emphasis on the spirit of progressivism during the interwar period, as well as the exceptionalism of American initiative and design. But as the display of the Broadway Series of type (designed by Benton in the late 1920s) reminds us, "Herds Ignore Granted Delusions." Our copy of Book of American Types is another donation from the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick.

How the government can write up a 590 page report showing how the government failed once again to protect kids and people's responses are to ban guns that kill less than 400 people a year and put more trust in the government
Gunsmith cats being on your favourites makes sense.. Your art style feels like it. Do you take inspiration from it?
That's funny. I haven't taken particular stylistic inspiration from it. I like the action, I like the cars, I like the short story format. It definitely captures what I love about 90s OVAs, where budget and energy is spent primarily on simple but flashy/stylish scenes with fantastic depth and character animation.
