@kai Settle down it’s just all that junk nobody uses anyway like letters with weird squiggles above them

@TiroTypeworks @kentlew Ah, it wasn’t clear that you were talking to lawyers about the legal aspects of typeface design. I thought it was just an analogy to explain how some of us operate and conceptualise the craft

@kai @Webtypography @pixelambacht @nicksherman 😂 Kai’s stock response to all customer enquiries. Love it!

@TiroTypeworks I think about parallels in jazz standards, folk songs and recipes

@Webtypography @pixelambacht @kai @nicksherman Why don't you provide fallbacks?

@nicksherman @HEX customers still ask for svg…

@jaf What on earth is this

Let’s try and guess what the mystery y-axis “$” stand for.

Azimut is a series of three interrelated fonts designed as part of the city of Strasbourg’s term as UNESCO World Book Capital in 2024. The typeface is the work of three fabulous designers: Benjamin Blaess, Mathieu Réguer and Julien Priez.

The fonts are available for free download and it was very pleased to be asked me to write an accompanying text. Check the whole project out here!

@triple @kai I am pretty sure Jasper Morrison designed this wine glass after having a wine some provincial French cafe. It’s detailed in Super Normal:

@simoncozens @TiroTypeworks it’s all gonna get subsetted anyway cos we don’t need those weird squiggles above letters on our website thank you very much

@felicianotype — How come Eudald News has changed so much since Vllg days?

@onpaperwings +1 for backblaze

Fascinating. Dude literally says, “Whitney was a natural choice for us. And then somewhere along the way Hoefler & Co. was bought by Monotype… and the licensing costs just were no longer sustainable for us.”

So they just made a new font, based on Source Sans.
