So check back here from time to time, just in case. Bru, the ampersand is actually Caslon Italic. I think I accidentally had Caslon Regular in the <a href="http://www.myfonts.com/FontAlbums/AlbumDetail?aid=194505" rel="nofollow">album</a>—it's fixed now though. Esta was a close guess.

Please, please.... (I'm chewing my keyboard in desperation here) us British Graphic designers get obsessed with typography (well, at least I do anyhow) and I'd so love one of those badges (sorry, 'buttons'). You know that's really quiet cruel showing a picture of them if you're not going to sell them - it's borderline TORTURE I'd say....(!) I WANT A BADGE… no really, you don’t understand, I NEED A BADGE!

Of course, I wore a few of my favourites throughout the conference, on my shirts and pants. I'm interested in buying some of the "I love type" buttons... are you selling them? If so, kindly email me and let me know. If not, I look forward to collecting more buttons in Seattle next year! Thanks in advance. Nick, I just love all of your buttons – they are magnificent!
