ducks & ice & spring

March 12, 2012/ Rae Kaiser

saturday we spent the day watching the ice melt on the lake. Chunks of it would break off and float by. Oh yah Spring is on its way!

Outside the Line

I'm Rae. I make fonts and blog. I reside in a city on a lake but spend most of the time living in my head.

New Cards!

My Mom always had a box of cards on hand. So, of course I do too. Birthday and all occasion blank cards. 8 for $19. You can order 2 of each card or a box of one design. I especially like to have birthday cards ready to go. Anything to make life a little easier. Drop Rae a line to order. Use the Ask Rae link above.

Something to certainly think about.

Neon at Hotel Indigo in Madison. Note the red letters. Had a great dinner at their restaurant Palette. Everyone's meals were beautifully presented as well as delish. Got a little tour of the rooms too. Everything was exceptional. The color palette/paint theme working off the the fact that this hotel is recreated in the old Mautz Paint Building. So well done, every detail. .

Perfect Mother's Day gift for any type designer. (Thank you Matt!) This book is about the font Palatino and the genius of Hermann Zapf. I shall slowly read and savor this book.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Robert Bringhurst makes a convincing argument that artists who create letters should be judged by the same standards and held in the same esteem as composers who write music and artists who paint on canvas.

"Can a pen stroke or a letterform be so beautiful it will stop you in your tracks and maybe break your heart?" In this groundbreakinging, seminal, and totally original book he answers unequivocally: "It can,"
