The first is Smashing Hour — a live-streamed chat between me and Vitaly Friedman, which is happening tomorrow at 4pm UK time (check your timezone). It’s going to be a very informal affair, so come and join in, or throw the proverbial rotten tomato, via Zoom.

The second collab with Smashing is one you probably already know about: my “Universal Principles of Typography” masterclass. The first session in this five-part online workshop is happening — eek — next Thursday (2nd March), and even if you’re not interested in attending, perhaps you have a friend or a colleague who might be? I’d be super grateful for any word-spreading you can do.

Is that little caricature telling me I need to comb my hair?

Alright, I promise that normal (not too self-promotional) service will resume next issue! At least I got a bit more sporadic-ness in here. Have a great week and hopefully I might catch you during Smashing Hour tomorrow, eh?
