So, @fatchair.bsky.social spends a lot of the time we are watching anything set in the past shouting at the TV about them using fonts created years later. Anyone know if TV producers want a typographic adviser? It would be a very good use of his typography skills and knowledge...

Currently they are processing Access to Work for Self-employed from 26th June 2024. Yep. Although they definitely told me they were doing ones from July 2024 a few months ago so not entirely sure I believe them.
