Among Alex Balk’s many tiresome duties at The Awl (more tiresome than blogging?, you ask, with incredulity) is creating display type for the skyboxes and sidebar. Since its publication on March 9th, Jeff Winkler’s harrowing account of penile dysfunction has lingered a bit in those venues, necessitating fresh display copy each day. Here’s just a sampling—really, there was more—of the lesser-known work of Alex Balk.

A++++.
btw, this story was as well-written, heartwarming, and genuinely touching as a story about breaking a penis can be. recommended read if you haven’t already.
