Two beautiful portraits of Jock from 1963 that we've not seen before (maybe recently added to @GettyImages).

The JKL is sad to hear of Ken Garland's passing. Personable and inspiring to the many many students who he gave his time to. @uniteditions book is accessible below, @ollywainwright interview here: theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Some mid-week tea-break watching: have just come across a second walk through of 'Margaret Calvert: Woman at Work' at the Design Museum, a film by Lol Sargent, Abodefilms. vimeo.com/483171063

Yes but the clock worked and the ceramics were fun; this featured in Creative Review's article about the BR symbol (always wondered where it was from) creativereview.co.uk/british-rail-l…

@_doublearrow What a great series! Thank you for sharing @RMBFLK

Collector's item, #RailAlphabet in the Falklands FTW @JockKinneir_Lib

@_doublearrow @Atlantean7001 Exactly! So good.

@Atlantean7001 Don't miss the four arrows pointing inwards :)

One of the best logos ever, surely? #KinneirAndCalvert

It's winter, it's sunny, it's chilly, they might sell out, they've been out for two years now but find your own reason: this range of #GlasgowAiport T-Shirts is strong. Made by JM + JS of partychat.buzz

We aren’t on top of our Instagram game, but we are excited about this: instagram.com/anthonyfroshau…, yes @lrplus_ ! #anthonyfroshaug

‘The figure is essentially a skeleton with flesh around it; an alphabet is a skeleton fleshed out. That’s where it gets its individuality. It’s very much a physical thing.' Nice interview with #margaretcalvert by Laura Gascoigne of @spectator. spectator.co.uk/article/meet-t…

If you have enjoyed the #JockKinneir Library, please please support @stbridelibrary #crowdfund. Jock came to James Mosley when preparing his book, acknowledges JM's 'careful scholarship' and entrusted him with maquettes. JM + Bob Richardson both donated time to JKL launching.

'Calvert has always placed the highest importance in the process of physically drawing the letterforms.. “avoiding any eccentric mannerisms that might easily date."' @ollywainwright covering #margaretcalvert's exhibit @DesignMuseum theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…
