"Though my soul may set in darkness
it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night."
From the poem "The Old Astronomer" (1868) by Sarah Williams.

I would like to request what I call the "Ghibli curse": May all food taste like ash in your mouth
It's adapted Calcifer the fire demon saying this classic line:
I don't eat meat, so I needed something more devastating 😈
AI accidentally made me believe in the concept of a human soul by showing me what art looks like without it.
Did some new pieces in this style because the original practice pieces are not fit for purpose.
Bonus points if you can pick the references :D
Looking at some of the very old fonts on your page got me wondering about the Gutenberg Bible. It very famously had a printed font, not hand-lettering, but I'm wondering if that very first printed font had a name. Is this just "blackletter but semi-automated"? Did Gutenberg call it something, as far as we know? Did it get a retroactive name?
A few pages for your perusal:
It didn't have a name at the time. Fonts having names didn't become commonplace until the 1800s.
Today we think of a font as a unique design created by a particular designer, but back then Gutenberg was just trying to replicate the kind of handwriting that scribes were producing at the time, and so he probably wouldn't have thought of it as something he created. It was just "the alphabet", and Gutenberg didn't design the alphabet.
Academics call it "the 42-line bible type" or "the B42 type".
It probably wasn't the first font, though. The font that's believed to be the first is known as the "Donat-Kalender-Type" or "DK type". It's named after its use in a Latin grammar by Aelius Donatus, as well as "calendars" (not actually conventional calendars).

Sometimes saying it just feels right

The king ran to embrace him;
more than a hundred times
he hugs and kisses him.
As soon as he got a chance
he gave him back all of his land;
he gave him more than I’m telling you.
“Bisclavret” by Marie de France, 12th C.
