  • Brb, updating my résumé to note that I am empathetic, creative, and an animal lover

  • RE: https://mastodon.social/@wonderofscience/117493072861287769 Something just too incredibly cute not to quote into everyone’s timeline. Friends, let’s all start “rafting” a bit more. 🙂

  • Well, friends, now I’ve gone and done it. I’ve launched my own foundry and website. https://kltype.com Also: announcing the release of Haffner Text, a contemporary oldstyle with heft and substance, originally designed for TIME magazine and now available for retail license. And introducing Parling — a sort of Benton-meets-Verdana homage to quintessentially American sans-serifs, an industrious gothic with an affable personality. Boosts appreciated, especially those with reach beyond my tiny or...

  • The current Eurokickyball kerfuffle reminds me, very obliquely, of a series of tweets by iowahawk from 2024: “Olympic breakdancing illustrates how America invents a thing, then some dorkwads in France somehow appoint themselves as the Federation Internationale de Thing (FITHI) to control the rules of global thinging. And then FITHI moves their HQ to a chalet in Switzerland, with a whole governing council of corrupt Thing potentates from around [...] America: invents 500 genres of popular music...

  • Is the type found inside British passports just plain old Bembo or some kind of fancier Bembo?

  • The Rise and Fall of Rational Control by Harvey Mansfield, published by the Belknap Press at Harvard University in 2025, is an excellent specimen of Adobe Kis in use as body text, including the Caption size in the notes and index. I’d post it on Fonts In Use if I could figure out what the sans is on the dust jacket. https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674298859 https://assets.fonts.adobe.com/8t06wnuduvo9hkf0wpprcmhyfycr

  • Before everyone was complaining about ChatGPT, no one was complaining about Wolfram Alpha, nor should they. https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2026/09/whats-the-future-for-pure-math-research-in-the-age-of-ai/

  • I spotted this X post just now and immediately thought of @TiroTypeworks ’ Clairvo. https://x.com/beffjezos/status/2109207986782740686/photo/1

  • So come up to the lab. And see what’s on the slab. I see you shiver with antici…..

  • @slwstr czy kończy się dobrze dla postaci? Chętnie obejrzałabym coś ale przy obecnej sytuacji na świecie rozpadnę się na kawałki jeśli film walnie mnie łopatą tylko po to aby póżniej dać mi ją do kopania dółu.

  • Cloud chamber. I saw a bigger one for the first time a month ago at CERN during a tourist visit. I didn't know you could build it like that. I wish I were 15 so I could sit in my grandfather's workshop throughout the summer and work on something like that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDrznoU0nGw

  • text-proof now supports multi-column output! I made this proof with the following command: text-proof -c al3 -a -l 2 Chidori-Medium.otf - c al3 # character set Adobe Latin-3 - a # “all” – use the whole character set (show each character at least once) - l 2 # two columns text-proof (and many other @drawBot -based proofing scripts) are available here: https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/drawBotProofing

  • @henk Hoi Henk – I recently came across this statement from Mark Simonson: “When Henk Gianotten interviewed me in 2009 for the Dutch magazine Publish, he criticized the ¤ in Proxima Nova as being unacceptable.” https://typedrawers.com/discussion/comment/67083/#Comment_67083 I was wondering if you’d have any examples of real-world use for the symbol ¤? Dankjewel!

  • The 'boring-expansion' set of proposals that I made back in 2022, with the help of Google Fonts and industry colleagues, have finally become part of the new ISO Open Font Format 5th edition international font format standard. It _only_ took four years... The proposals include the `avar` version 2 table for more expressive variable font designspaces, variable-composites, as well as fonts with more than 65 thousand glyphs. PDF can be downloaded for free, albeit after a checkout p...

  • RE: https://typo.social/@triple/117419027672718120 I'm flattered to having made it to this list. Needless to say, my work on HarfBuzz in the past twenty years has been collaboration with dozens of colleagues, and generously funded by Google, to which I'm grateful.

  • - Care work ought to pay what tech work pays. - Care work ought to pay its workers that, not its managers that. - Care work shouldn't see managers driving around in brand new luxury cars while the staff scrape by month to month. And if you think that's crazy; consider this: - Care work is the *only* work that can't be outsourced to AI and automation. - Care work is *fucking hard*. - Every one of us will need it eventually. And, frankly, care work matters far more than tech work.

  • Report: Dockworkers from 100 ports in 17 countries will disrupt exports to Israel on an international day of action on Oct 30. Workers are pressuring governments to impose a full military embargo on Israel & end “trade, economic & academic relations serving its illegal occupation & apartheid”. https://novaramedia.com/2026/10/28/dockworkers-from-100-ports-to-disrupt-military-and-energy-supplies-to-israel/ #BDS #USPol #EUPol #news #palestine #USImperialism #GazaGenocide .
