New on the blog: The arcane alphabets of Black Sabbath
To commemorate Ozzy Osbourne, we took a deep dive into the obscure typefaces used on Black Sabbath’s first four album covers.

(Buckle up, it’s a long one.)

RIP #BillAtkinson (1951–2025). During his time at #Apple, he was central to the development of the graphical user interface of the Lisa and later the Macintosh, and is best known for creating MacPaint, QuickDraw, and HyperCard.
Atkinson also takes credit for designing Venice, a chancery script bitmap font. Along with #SusanKare’s designs, it was one the “City” fonts that came with the original #Macintosh. https://fontsinuse.com/type_designers/6337/bill-atkinson
