This print “Occam’s Razor” is about the Law of Economy or Parsimony postulated by Scholastic philosopher William of Ockham (1287–1347), “pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate” or entities should not be needlessly multiplied. More simply this law, or really, rule of thumb is that the simplest explanation is usually right. The print shows Ockham himself, inspired by an image of him from a 🧵 1/n

My linocut print of Occam’s Razor shows Ockham himself, inspired by an image of him from a stained glass window in Surrey, the proverbial and labelled razor and many unlikely things (aliens, ghosts, cryptozoological creatures) it would cut away. It is printed by hand, from two carved relief lino blocks in lavender, silver, pale yellow and phthalo blue on delicate Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper. Each print is 8" by 9" or 20.3 cm by 22.9 cm.

Huh... Nebula streaming service announced a new brand typeface called "Nebula Sans".

It's based on Source Sans 3, thus is also licensed under the terms of the SIL Open Font License.

Unfortunately, it has the issue of an uppercase "i" looking too similar to a lowercase "L", which seems like a regression from Source Sans 3.

Probably done to not have to deal with licensing Whitney from Hoefler & Co.

What is the typeface on this iconic album? Reminds me a bit of the MS33558 font used in American military aircraft cockpits. (But it isn’t that.)

Looking closer, I think the album cover might have been even better with the slightly simpler military font. The curve of the R leg looks a bit off in the otherwise very industrial and almost Gorton-like typeface.

Album cover featuring a black textured background with a diamond plate pattern. The title "TALKING HEADS" and "FEAR OF MUSIC" are displayed in bold green rectangular boxes.
