Not just a great read, but a really well designed article. Haven’t seen the web look this good in a while.

Fascinating read.

I got into mechanical keyboards during the pandemic, and realised as I read the article that this typeface is right here on my desk, on the letters of my keyboard, looking back at me. Never thought about where that lettering came from, or that it would have such a long history.
