i love swear words.

love this post from stay-still:

seriously, it’s probably appropriate that billy and i have a business called son of a sailor, because i certainly swear like one… so imagine my sheer fucking delight when i found this site, via swiss miss! beautiful swear words. awesome!

i really love that it is a study in typography using super powerful words! i really like “holy shitballs,” “asshole,” and “shitfuck.” oh, -ahem- pardon my french!

"I'm comic sans, asshole"

We don’t all have seventy-three weights of stick-up-my-ass Helvetica sitting on our seventeen-inch MacBook Pros. Sorry the entire world can’t all be done in stark Eurotrash Swiss type. Sorry some people like to have fun. Sorry I’m standing in the way of your minimalist Bauhaus-esque fascist snoozefest. Maybe sometime you should take off your black turtleneck, stop compulsively adjusting your Tumblr theme, and lighten the fuck up for once.

- “I’m Comic Sans, Asshole”  monologue by mike lacher via mcsweeney’s

I fucking hate comic sans.  and curlz.  and papyrus.  gross. 

what’s your least favorite font? 

Disney needs to hire someone else.

Papyrus and Bank Gothic. Real original.

thoughtful restaurant design

texas is near the top of the list for having most restaurants per capita than any city …too bad we have very few that are as original and thoughtful as schiller’s liquor bar in nyc’s lower east side {thank you mucca design…}.

From hand-drawn and stamped typography, to staff t-shirts printed with choking-victim rescue instructions, every aspect of the project was designed with a sense of homemade quirkiness, reminiscent of a family-owned downtown joint. We worked with a calligrapher to create a unique signature-style logo, which we translated into an old-school neon sign on the façade—a vintage touch that helped integrate it with the character of the neighborhood.
