When admiring the letterforms of a neon sign, it is easy to overlook the practical logistics of its construction … but look at how much effort goes into the illusion of a continuous line of cursive text.

It’s important for Americans to talk and repost about things that are happening in their country, and I don’t begrudge them doing so on social media, but I really wish platforms like this encouraged use of hashtags to help the rest of the world filter this stuff.

😍 Spotted at a recent conference: an author of ours with a Brill #tattoo! Written in the Brill font, amazingly enough, the #Greek term "Hapax legomenon" describes a word that occurs only once in a body of text. Pretty unique, and we love it!
Send us your #academic tattoos if you have them!
