The comfort of being able to see what a profile I follow with a professional curiosity is doing in a sectoral context without having to go to IG can of course make me tolerate a post that might otherwise be labeled as #ad here, and I can happily live with that.

Following topic tags always a good idea, but using the same profile icon in such a way that makes it easier to distinguish is better.

A type before Gutenberg* B.

No one can tell, but I'm assuming† it’s a Thera Beta.‡ The one on the top-right in image.

* Circa 2nd century AD.
† Seen many Rho and other Beta forms that look similar, but nothing quite like this.
‡ Similar to ‘Theran open Beta’ described in the M. Guarducci 1987. Found (naturally) sans-serif version as a variant in Brill Epichoric font. #Typography
