TRANSCRIPT is a record of things—of hard conversations, falling objects, and pointless pilgrimages. Capturing what has been said, heard, felt. Essays, fiction, poetry, or all these things, all at once. ISSUE ONE out now.

TRANSCRIPT: ISSUE ONE

TRANSCRIPT ISSUE TWO features contributions from Maia Kenney, Hilde Onis, Merel van Slobbe, Malina Suliman and Linus Bonduelle.

Instead of sharing a Tidal-specific song link with friends, now you can let them choose the service they want to open it with — whether it’s Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music. Tidal is rolling out universal links today, and you can see how it looks in the screenshot below.

Tidal has found the right way to share music with friends.

TRANSCRIPT was born out of a desire to create a long-lasting record of things in print. It is a bi-annual magazine, featuring literary essays, short stories, poetry, and everything in-between. ISSUE ONE sold out, ISSUE TWO in progress!

TRANSCRIPT MAGAZINE

Martina Plantijn is a better Plantin. Informed by the workhorse qualities of Frank Hinman Pierpont’s typeface and expanding upon his research of 16th century type at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, Martina Plantijn makes decisive digital updates across its roman and italic cuts.

Almost ready to launch a little shop for TRANSCRIPT, a publication I've been working on with @iriscuppen... 👀

I’m very excited to be sending issue 2/4 of TRANSCRIPT to print soon—grateful to all the contributors who submitted their beautiful texts and images 🥹

Here’s a sneak preview of the piece I wrote for it.

Our zine, TRANSCRIPT, is very much in the works. We have been bending our necks in unhealthy curves to inspect our serifs, and will be launching it this summer.

May's issue of my newsletter 📚

In the wake of her new book All Fours lining the shelves of my go-to bookstore as of this month, I decided to re-read Miranda July's previous novel, The First Bad Man, published in 2015.

My latest post is out, on Claire-Louise Bennett’s “Pond”. I loved reading this book of stories, daydreams, observations, and it has lingered in my head ever since I shut it.

📚 I’ve been logging my reading this year. Every mark represents >15 minutes. Still haven’t managed to read every day in any one month!

🎾 I’m quite happy with my performance in this year’s tennis season. 10 singles matches won, 12 lost — looking back, I could’ve probably tipped the scales in the other direction, but it was my best season yet, either way. 

Excited for next year ☺️

April's newsletter out now, on Paul Lynch's “Prophet Song”, winner of The Booker Prize — relentless and unforgiving; a whirlwind of a novel about a country on the brink of totalitarianism.

This weekend I remembered this little website I built in 2013, highlighting some of my favourite design(-adjacent) books.

Dug it up via the Wayback Machine: jQuery, Typekit, this thing did anything it could to load as slowly as possible 😁
