What happened to Font Review Journal? For a while it was my go-to place for flowery language about minuscule details in letter shapes. Looks like it hasn’t seen an update since before the pandemic. I know at some point Bethany Heck was working on a book version of it, but I can’t find any information about it actually being published.

Well done.

Bethany is still active on instagram. Seems like she has moved on.

I developed strong opinions about fonts recently, and went to /r/typography looking for exactly this sort of material -- found it lacking :c

This is a treasure, I know there are a few "Little Big Things"-esque font-focused blogs, and my next hope will be traditional forums like high-logic.

You were looking for good, well-informed writing on a topic, and went to Reddit? That’s, uh, optimistic.

That is _exactly_ why people still search reddit.

This is a classic example: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=font+review+websites+r...

Sometimes you're leaving reddit as quickly as you visited, knowing you found the sorta thread you want, and ctrl-f'ing all of the https:// to dig further.

But maybe more often I'm just going to https://hn.algolia.com/ which almost always to take me somewhere else, less so to read a buncha chatter
