What’s Ironic Sans?\*

Back when people still read blogs, [Ironic Sans](http://www.ironicsans.com/?ref=ironicsans.ghost.io) was mine. I tried to write original and evergreen content not just for my regular readers, but to create a backlog of amusement for someone finding my site for the first time. It was well read in some circles, and there’s a good chance you may have seen some of the posts that went viral over the years. The site is still around, and you can poke through the [archive](http://www.ironicsans.com/favorites/?ref=ironicsans.ghost.io).

As Twitter became the new place for amusing thoughts, and after the death of Google Reader and the birth of my kids, I found less need to keep writing a blog. But I still have ideas I want to share that can’t fit in a tweet. I increasingly see Newsletters as replacing RSS — an easy way for people to select content that comes to them rather than having to visit separate sites. And so here we are.

Subscribers will receive weekly-or-less emails with observations, stories, ideas, and essays from me. I have a few things planned, but I’ll mostly be figuring it out as I go. Your feedback is valuable so I hope you’ll write back.

If you’re new to my writing, read past issues in the [archive](https://ironicsans.substack.com/archive/). I wrote them for you.

\* The name Ironic Sans came from the [first post](http://www.ironicsans.com/2006/02/idea%5Fironic%5Fsans.html?ref=ironicsans.ghost.io) on the blog, which suggested that Ironic Sans would be a good name for a serif font.
