Oh Hanna I didn't know you were a fellow nerd! Yay! I feel like we have a new bond or something.

Those kern rings are AMAZING.

I will ad to that list this scarf, which I have wanted for ages:

Maya, that Uppercase scarf has been on my wishlist for ages! I saw it on one of those list maker thingamajiggy websites (kaboodle or wists or something). If you're interested or don't already know this is a blog I've been following for well over a year. She's very talented and a huge font nerd.

hanna, LOVE the kern rings!

oh, and maya -- my major is actually journalism, but i absolutely love graphic design and type and worked on that on the side. and then somehow i fell into a job that allows me to both write and design! lucky me.

also, whatever i'm a nerd for, i love finding quirky accessories for. case in point: type, scrabble, ninjas, pandas...

KILLER scarf. I adore geometric patterns like that. Looks a little Chanel-esque, which makes me love it more.

You have to see the Helvetica movie.

I have seen it Angie The scarf is by far my most coveted accessory right now but it is a bit pricey unfortunately.

Hanna, I'm a Scrabble freak too. I think the only reason I have a FB account anymore is to play Lexulous.

I have an obsession with ampersands. They are my favorite typographic symbol which is why I am so into those cufflinks. I think I will have to find some ampersand accessories. I really love this thread :p

I love the necklaces and scarves! You ladies are great; I learn something cool about you guys every day. I am a wannabe graphic designer (I have a certificate in graphic communication) and love all things typography related!

Whoa! What an interesting thread this is. At first I passed right over it but when I came back to it and clicked on some of the links that you ladies shared I found out there is a very interesting world out there.
Thanks for sharing.
