Can vouch for this 💯
Replying to @SebLester
I do put a lot of effort into my talks. I try to make them fun and interesting to a broad audience. If you have a general interest in art and design, I think you'll probably find the evening interesting and, hopefully, useful.

Also for those who don’t care about the difference but love alphabets, letters and “Schriften” anyway!
A reminder that the Berlin Typography book makes a great gift for the person in your life who knows the difference between a typeface and a font. #TypeInBerlin

Not forgetting Bristol’s typefounding (font making) heritage! The same Fry family made excellent versions of Caslon and Baskerville in the 18th century, as documented by @Tosche_E at the very first Letter Luvvers meet-up.
Great to see Bristol’s chocolate-making heritage being remembered in the name of this new thoroughfare off Cumberland Road. The new Cargo Work in Wapping Wharf is located within the stone walls of a former Fry’s warehouse.

Great news about the Kings Head pub reopening. All Letter Luvvers are politely yet strongly advised to pay a visit to check out the incredible interior!
Buckle up for a thread about a unique pub. 🍻 The Kings Head, which has been shut since the start of the pandemic, is the only Bristol pub recognised as being of national importance in Camra’s Heritage Listed Interior and has got some of the oldest bar fittings of any UK pub
