The Erotics of Type. An illustrated article by Max Bruinsma. Phew...getting hot under me collar.... From the simple figure 69, to elaborate tongue-in-cheek exercises like Michael Worthington's 'Dominatrix' typeface, typographers and type designers as well as readers (and censors) have used letters and ciphers to suggest 'prurient' content. Throughout the history of typography, the 'abstract' medium of type is employed to evoke eroticism, not by merely using the obvious words, but by using the letterforms: Copulating letters, erotic ligatures and the dot. 10:12:27 PM     |

Botfood. Keep on munching, guys. I'm now getting up to 100 (!) spams every day. Great. Really. I don't even forward them to Spamcop anymore, because it's too much work, wastes too much bandwidth and doesn't help anyway. I just delete the crap. hczgolu@vofwph.de, tlsb@pipkfaag.ch, brptis@qrdleskdx.com, sgjagodth@ryxxeuxwfdvbnwigevb.pl, drnji@oyxlhlciv.biz, qdkltd@wyjahucfkw.com, aodjozp@clvtnvegsdibucmaa.de, ipfkmy@lewinrkai.com, uet@llsxxk.jp, bdosuu@kwkgveeatwtd.ru, acylvykyg@kyammoeeiize.ar, hkllknnksx@ylxfsyvzcwcgrkqclxl.ca, cwjacozzdy@kllwecltxiwauvmbdy.jp, bkqzuix@ogjuchigfbpimlxkb.it, aoz@ieip.ch, kocet@agnpndysqpakvpm.es, rzbhv@hwtysayhtvtnqpjrgi.mil, hdrtorug@wllecgifnw.mil, gfhspf@xfkexscnh.ru, nnjub@deuuwxtukqyajbdxh.st 9:45:07 PM     |
