Not a return to Dub's thread on themes, but noticed Ivor the Engine uses the same font as the front of the Cobbold Stand.

Considering the number of goals we’ve conceded at home in 2025 I was expecting it to be Comic Sans |  |
| Sometimes I giggle about the frothing lunatic who’s put me on ignore and now has to constantly log out to see what I’ve said. Beneath that counterfeit persona lurks the same pitifully desperate egomaniac. | | Poll: | September 2025. Which one? |

Brilliant.
When the Cobbold is rebuilt, they must recreate or even simply reuse that white lettering on black that says Ipswich Town Football Club at the top of the stand. |  | | |

Someone should send this to Mark Ashton, get it into the planning process.
He is of the right age to have watched the colour series in the 1970s. |  |

Is this why you think all train drivers just press a button and then sit back and read the paper? |  |

Typeface, fonts are a Microsoft invention | | | |

For the nerds. Typeface is Volta Fett designed by Walter Baum in 1955 (I think). |  | | |

So that would suggest it pre-dates Microsoft?
"font(n.2)
"complete set of characters of a particular face and size of printing type," 1680s (also fount); earlier "a casting" (1570s); from French fonte "a casting," noun use of fem. past participle of fondre "to melt," from Latin fundere (past participle fusus) "to melt, cast, pour out" (from nasalized form of PIE root *gheu- "to pour"). So called because all the letters in a given set were cast at the same time." | | | |

so why is Typography literally called Typography, and not fontgraphy then, and we have typewriters, not fontwriters ;)
maybe the word has been around since the late 1600s, though Id want to see it mentioned in Pepy's diaries to give it more credibility than page on the internet says so, that it was in common use at the time.
but MS did through the adoption of the truetype font by Apple, standardise "digital fonts" for computers, and popularised the use of the word "font" when people invariably actually meant typeface instead | | | |
