Creakers in Eras, a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by two Alberts (Boton & Hollenstein) and released in 1976 by the International Typeface Corporation. A curious feature, alongside the open bowls (see “a”), is the ever so slight right tilt that flirts with, but refuses italicization. It’s almost like the letterforms are just beginning to doze off. Eras has been used for the Caddyshack credits, on the video game Tekken Tag Tournament, and on Epson V39 flatbed scanners, the same used to make the boug photographs. Thank you @benjamincritton for the sharp, sleuthing eyes! Anyways, last weekend! See y’all tom! #creakers in #eras; #typeface #research; #openbowls & a good #tilt; #caddyshack, #tekken & #epson; #fonts, #fun & #forgettingthewords at #arivergallery; #closingweekend (at River Gallery)

Opening a solo show at a very special gallery is amazing, but having friends and family that KEEP coming to these things, no matter how big or small, is even better. Thank you all so much. Hope to keep seeing faces, old and new, over the next few weeks. River is open every Saturday thru July 8. And I’m happy to swing by other days to show you around the yellow room, or as @_____wjg_____ called it, the “Church of E.B.” Don’t hesitate to holler! 💛 #erikbenjamins is #forgettingthewords at #arivergallery; #laart, #avoidingthebummerness, & #livingaloha (at River Gallery)
