#3> I used to do graphic design, and I have this weird tic where any time I see something that looks handwritten, I look for multiple instances of the same letter to see if they are different or if the design just used a handwriting font. It’s almost always a handwriting font and I die a little inside to see the illusion evaporate.
Not a graphic designer, but I do the exact same thing and feel the exact same way... Happy to see I'm not crazy alone
And his look like really neat hand-drawn diagrams! I certainly appreciate the degree of craftsmanship and care displayed throughout both books
As a someone put it on YouTube, the time-lapse video of the entire process is like ASMR for geeks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN1MsCXkPSA

#8Thank you so much for this book! I used the early chapters to inform some decisions of mine when building my own programming language.
Congratulations on completing your work.

I once published a magazine on typography and someone asked me how I got the cool sketched-with-pencil look for the headline on one article. I sketched it with a pencil. (It was especially ironic in that the article was about an aggressively digital type foundry).
