One of the things I love about membership to the Museum of Printing in Massachusetts (https://museumofprinting.org) is the printed quarterly newsletter they send in the mail. In many ways it’s just a low-frills, local-feeling newsletter, with wholesome photos of volunteers and even a section where they print emails they get.🥹 But then there will also be articles by type historians like nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq56jj3dq64aqjydhtt3e4trmdprdm4x2vs7dj5f6fuwh3py5ge8vsyuj074 (nprofile…j074), profiles on interesting technology/people from the early digital design era, articles on the history of kerning, etc, etc. There’s a lot of interesting content on typographic history that can’t be found anywhere else.

It’s not especially academic (or well-designed) for a publication from a printing history museum, but that’s part of what makes it fun and enjoyable.
