Yes!!
It’s about time for Tipocracia to have a real blog!

This month Tipocracia celebrates five years!

Yes, it took some time for the blog to come out, but it came in three flavors!!! Portuguese, spanish and english. The idea is to set up a communication channel with other countries, thus to increase the project’s and brazilian type’s reach.

In time, I’d like to thank Gabriel Menezes, Hernán Paganini and Pablo Codeglia for the spanish posts translations and revisions. And to Feijão!!! untiring in his help with programming nodes of the triple blog. Danke!!

So here we go!!

“We”? Yeah! “We” ; )
