  I was away for a while, but now back and feeling FOMO for both ATypI and Type Paris, but hopefully I will hear the news in the grapevine.

  Ligado Studio continues the work steadily. We are working in the background, nourishing a wonderful community at the type salons, and collaborating with type designers to enhance their work.

  The Ligado salon last week was about rest and how to recharge. We talked about hobbies, and it was super cool to see how privileged we are to enjoy our work and our creativity in a way that we don't need that much downtime. Still time off to do nothing, especially when summer arrives, is super important for me. How do you recharge?

  Flying back home to Vienna today after an amazing weekend in Berlin with @fontstand. The conference was so full of amazing work and people. It was great to work with type designers in the workshop and also learn from everyone's experience. Maybe we'll do an online one!

  Launched a new typeface, designed in tandem with FaceType's, Marcus Sterz. This has been on my mind for a long time , it's great to see it live! It has Latin, Cyrillic and Greek. To show more later!

  Nowadays, I find such fulfilment helping others finish their fonts. Not as a font engineer but as a thinking partner, and giving feedback. It's quite wonderful.
