It's becoming clearer that sometimes when I say "use your local library" it's taken as "use a public library" and while that is definitely something you should be doing if you can, I'm usually talking about any library that's accessible to you!! Lending libraries, online libraries, school libraries, all of these are important to use as well!! If you have access to them, use them!! "Your local library" means any library that is local to you!

TT Barrels by TypeType

Release: September 18, 2018 Type Specimen here 

TT Barrels is an elegant scotch style modern serif with strong industrial accents in its design. 

TT Barrels consists of 12 fonts: Light, Regular, DemiBold, Bold, Extrabold, Black and the corresponding Italics. 

Each outline consists of more than 750 glyphs and includes small capitals, ligatures (for Latin and Cyrillic alphabets), stylistic alternates, old-style figures, and many other useful features. 

The TT Barrels project was born from a fictional technical assignment in which we tried to combine the technological effectiveness of industrial production used in engineering and the restrictions imposed by it with a beautiful scotch style serif. We decided to create a typeface that could be used to press letters on the metal body of a car, all while the typeface being elegant, and possessing sophisticated details that are typical of the classic text fonts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In the process of designing and sketching, we reconsidered certain aspects and abandoned some of the requirements imposed by the technology of metal letter pressing, for example, from the extensive application of visual compensators, the decreased strokes contrast, and the hyperdeformation of individual letter elements to preserve a more pronounced rhythm of these elements. First of all, we wanted both to maintain the ease of reading for the entire text array and follow the rules of aesthetics of each letter in the typeface, while still leaving some influence of industrialism. In the end, this influence is best manifested in serifs, which are quite massive and have a technologically exaggerated wedge shape.

"I don't need the library because I don't read much." WRONG!!!

Your local library may be able to offer you:

- 3D printers

- a place to hang out

- articles, magazines, newspapers

- arts and crafts

- cassette tapes

- CDs

- chargers

- coloring pages

- computers

- DVDs

- fax machines

- food

- help filing paperwork

- help finding resources, support groups, or community activities

- phones

- printers

- puzzles

- seeds to plant

- sewing machines

- temporary housing / shelter

- VHS tapes

I suggest using your local library. So go check it out!

I want it to be clear that I am pro piracy but you really should be using libraries as much as possible

I want to make a list of books that are connected to tumblr in whatever way. For example (but not limited to) books that are constantly quoted in text posts, that have a very large fanbase here, or that had a large impact on tumblr culture. So if you know any, give me them!! And then go use your local library, of course.

If you mention anything by J.K. Rowling or Neil Gaiman I'm minusing all of your worms.
