I found a locked safe hidden at the back of a closet in my new house

That’s how I studied German as a young adult: from a book using this typeface. Yeah, it made it unnecessarily hard.

Oh, I’m fully aware of Blackletter being different letter forms. I’m just not clear where the heck that K comes from, letterform-wise. Even the wacky Y seems to have some antecedent I seem to recall. What I am not clear on is, on the timeline of letter evolution, what spur line resulted in Blackletter?

Have you gone goth?

These guys drive me bananas because of the amount of time they spend not dropping shit on other shit. I don’t watch YouTube channels like that for goofy banter in a “New Zealand, except more evil” accent.

Ha!
My first time viewing these people. 99,999 channels out there, so hard to keep up!
But, @boingboing is my first stop every morning.
Cheers!

The main YouTube channels i watch on the regular are:

  • people making 18th century food
  • people picking locks (thanks, @boingboing)
  • people eating MREs (thanks, @boingboing)
