@klim @onpaperwings WOW 🙏

@onpaperwings @nicksherman @BriarLevit Thanks all! Found these as well: https://archive.org/details/ibm-selectric-typewriter-type-styles/page/2/mode/2up and https://typecast.munk.org/2013/11/03/dsg-ibm-selectric-type-element-catalog-type-styles. Interesting to see alternate numerals

@nicksherman @onpaperwings @BriarLevit ooo 👀 👀

I’ve not yet been able to conjure some words to sum up my experience in SF at @Figma’s #config2025 last week, so for now I’m just going to post the video of my talk instead. If you didn’t get to see it live, I hope you enjoy it.

It was a blast sharing the story behind Departure Mono and my design approach at #Config2025. Here's the recording of my talk if you missed it: https://youtu.be/bbZTRsvmzbQ?si=FN7T5oqs0p4VjD8d.

A big thank you to @Figma for making this possible for me 3 months postpartum (it was HARD!) and to @rektdeckard my best editor and my partner in everything.

And what a TREAT it was to visit @letterformarchive the same day and see some of their library. Thanks @onpaperwings. If you have't been yet, you have to visit!

@0xC0FFEE @mwichary ❤️ ❤️

@danserif @onpaperwings so happy to hear that!!

So many monos, so little time!

I updated my massive list of monospaced fonts (have been updating every few months since 2021) to add five new ones from @djrrb, @minoraxis, Upper Management, and Teo Tuominen.

Scroll down to the “Honorable Mentions” section for the links: https://realdougwilson.com/writing/coding-with-character

@onpaperwings @djrrb Ooo thanks for the add. This is a great list 👀👀

Thrilled to be returning to the stage at #Config2025 San Francisco!!! I’ll be sharing my design philosophy through the case study of Departure Mono. May 7.

I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime.

This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today.

So, @rek animated this really nice guide on assembling a zine.

Nobody cares...

@mvu wow tiny! what phone is that?

Welp, I bought a 3+ year old phone (iPhone 13 mini) and am returning to iOS after 7 years with Android — purely because I want a small phone again. Who feels this pain?

@onpaperwings Oh hey! I live super close and would love to attend. Big fan of your work on Linotype

@nqst I'm so glad. Happy New Year!
