"Why Do We Keep Using the Same Typefaces?"

Interesting article about the use of the same fonts throughout the web.

"Spend a little time looking at the typography of the web, and you'll find that the same fonts get used over and over and over again. With literally thousands of web fonts available, why do designers keep reaching for the same ones for site after site? The article talks about positive feedback loops, the Matthew Effect, and more."

Yellowstone from a Bear's Perspective

National Geographic and Yellowstone National Park have put together an amazing set of videos on the collar of selected Bears (Black and Grizzly) to get a better idea and see what its like to stroll for miles around the park and come into contact with other predators as well as bulking up for the winter. 

The website is put together real nicely with a flawless flow through all of the materials. I also love the illustrations for the bears. Great site design and videos.

Type Terminology

This is a neat interactive site that allows you to brush up on type terminology whether it be for a class or are just intrigued by type.

"Type Terms is an animated typographic cheat sheet. It's a great reference whether you're totally new to type or just want to refresh your memory. Click on each part of the letters shown and it brings you to a more in-depth explanation of what the part is, from the foot of a letterform to the ascender." https://www.supremo.tv/typeterms/
