Living in Australia is awesome but one of the toughest moments during the year is when the “type conference season” starts. It is still not too late to schedule a trip overseas and make it coincide with your favourite Type Conference. Happy Type Touring!

Even the slightest interaction with Rich Roat of @houseindustries showed him to be a sincere, genuinely Good person who improved the lives of those around him. May he be remembered with the same warmth he bestowed to the people around him.
