  2. I spoke too soon about round tripping smart components (see the excellent clarification below from simoncozens ) But I’m am very much excited about this proposal for Variable Components in UFO by justvanrossum and blackfoundry github.com/BlackFoundryCom/variable-components-in-ufo cjtype/1583861071265210368

  3. (yes, I’m reading FontTools release notes on a Sat morning 🤓) -Extrapolation is now possible with varLib! -There is now support for round tripping smart components between Glyphs and UFO, which means UFO can store them. Who will make the RF plugin? github.com/fonttools/fonttools/releases/tag/4.38.0

  11. To my friends who read Arabic: Does this bilingual text look OK? Is the shaping correct? Is the line break happening at a reasonable place? Does the leading look OK? Thanks in advance!! (typeface is the wonderful Brando Arabic from boldmonday by waelmorcos and debakir )

  15. “Design has evolved to meet the challenge of the new relationship between people and the material goods they need. Today, designers — artisans, manufacturers, engineers, architects — think far beyond the way things look.” Excellent essay by Matt Ström 👇 ilikescience/1572963839213182978

  16. I found this example of optical sizing for “logos”, from Enschedé 1825. Did I see this used in another presentation/blog about optical sizing already? Or maybe it was some other similar example?

  17. Fontra is an in-development browser-based font editor by blackfoundry & justvanrossum So exciting to see this running on my computer already Still in early stage dev, but it’s super fast! I’m convinced this will be part of our type design workflow in the near future. Gongrats! blackfoundry/1570365015819014144

  21. I’m thinking of an image which shows a bunch of optical sizes of a lowercase a. It’s from foundry type meant for a small printed size up to a very large one, but all scaled to the same size so you can see the adjustments made. Does anyone know where I can find this image?

  22. when I was making the promotional materials for my typeface Pennypacker I made a World Clock graphic. Then I decided to make it into an actual website: worldclock.cjtype.com which you are sent to when clicking on this graphic on cjtype.com/typefaces/pennypacker/ Simple, but fun to make✨ Mappletons/1561262483914084352

  23. one year for Halloween, the MUJI store by my house was giving out bags to use for trick-or-treating and had a station for making your own custom design. I just found mine, still pretty happy with it

  25. “Pens” in fonttools (and formerly in robofab) are super useful, but they always confuse me and I find myself going back to the documentation every time I use them. Here's a nice thread on with helpful resources which I will surely be referring back to. Thanks, colinmford ! colinmford/1557427113254330368

  26. 😍 the JesusLovesYouAll series is so chaotic, I love it. Try typing in JesusLovesYourBrother and watch the digital grime pile up. It's also fascinating to see how the readability changes at different sizes. Counterintuitively, I can read it way better at smaller sizes TypeNetwork/1557041579696824324

  30. I noticed the numbers are much more narrow today on weather.cjtype.com than they have been lately, (width relates to humidity) and I immediately smiled knowing it will be a pleasant day outside my brain responds differently to these visual cues than to reading a number (37) cjtype/1551615391293898752

  31. So proud to see the custom typeface we designed for Queensboro FC on their academy team, who just won the northeast championship, and are going on to the final 4 in the nation! Also first time I've seen a typeface of mine rendered in airbrush😎 More here: cjtype.com/gallery/queensboro-fc-custom-typeface/ QueensboroFC/1552707371948032001

  32. I love drawbotapp because I was able to easily modify this handy script from ArrowType to run on multiple weight/width sources and output in a ton of different formats like .mp4 .gif .pdf or individual .png .jpg .tiff etc all from the same code base with very few changes ArrowType/1552357531489640449

  33. lifehack to get rid of fruit flies: pour apple cider vinegar in a small bottle, then take a sheet of paper with a drawing of BCPs for branching vs stab connections in a lc /n, tape into a cone shape and place in the bottle to catch the flies at least that’s what worked for me

  36. Wow, this is a huge milestone!! If I understand correctly, the AVAR2 update will allow variable fonts to do amazing things not previously possible or practical. + Breaking the 65k glyph limit is major for CJK fonts like Source Han Serif/Sans which are currently limited here harfbuzz/1551260648629231618
