I probably spend too long fusing over fonts, but, I can highly recommend Adobe's Source Serif font for your ereader of choice. Clean, clear and beautiful.
Say hello to Sam Parrett’s Morning Memories serif and script fonts, which evoke a sense of nostalgia for cherished memories of the past while inspiring hope for creating new moments to treasure: https://weandthecolor.com/morning-memories-serif-script-fonts-sam-parrett/177330 #fonts
Writers that are self publishing print books, which interior fonts are you into these days? I'm using Caslon 540 LT but open to new ones! #amwriting #selfpublishing #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #fonts #bookdesign

I now have over 5000 #fonts. I still have about 150 to sort into my collections in Fontbase. I don't know why I bother, because I keep going back to the same handful of favorites anyway. 99.5% never see any use.
I have a sickness.
Absolutely in love with the font I just bought to use in my terminal 😍
Somehow programming feels a little more special while using it ✨

I'm giving Intel's new monospaced font a try in IDEA. Seems solid so far. I dig the dramatic curly braces.
I'm experimenting with the different layout configurations available in HTML/CSS by looking at text rendering in Firefox and Chromium. The differences are wild!
We'll forgive them the last 2 rows because the "sideways" is experimental, but the centering mismatch, Firefox omitting some glyphs and Chromium picking glyphs from random fonts… what the hell.
I'm well aware that text rendering is a terrible field to work in but seeing titans fail at it like this surprises me.

THE YEAR IS 2023:-
Developers have yet to realise they can load websites faster by including popular #fonts with #browsers.
Not only that, they can help end the seedy, #massSurveillance business of the #CDN and help our #environment with less bandwidth throughput requirements.
Who knew!?
Maybe someone can include @torproject in this because we think they block us.

New article on my website about the Divi WordPress theme and how it handles fonts. Aimed at photographers who are thinking about or have a website, & anyone thinking about Divi.
This stuff matters for photographers or indeed any creatives with a website. You need to make sure that your website is fast & secure. Also make sure whoever builds your site uses the right tools for the job.

Fun Fact: I made my own version of that “starfleet" font with the outline around it (the one based roughly on Microgramma / Eurostile). I call it “Astrograph." I'll do something else with it eventually, I'm sure. #fonts #typefaces #StarTrek
Neuer Blogeintrag: Heute habe ich ein paar Gedanken zu den Schriftarten auf dem Blog aufgeschrieben. Stichwort: Serifen.
Wow, (over) 30 years of the PDF. I use them daily. From the linked article:
"The concept of PDF - Portable Document Format - actually began with the Camelot Project in 1990. And Camelot itself would be nothing without the very backbone of the idea, PostScript, which started all the way back in 1985, and kickstarted the desktop publishing software revolution.
Back in those days, cross-platform compatibility was a nightmare, which led Dr. John Warnock, co-founder of Adobe, to initiate that project. Its goal was simple in its concept but ambitious in its execution: create a format that would enable anyone to send any document electronically to anyone else, and that person would be able to read and even print it with its formatting perfectly preserved.
...to us jaded computer users nearly at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, this may sound like nothing to be excited about, but back in the 80s and 90s, which was the personal computer’s infancy, this was a big deal.
...back then, you couldn’t be sure which software someone would be using. You wouldn’t even know which fonts were installed on their machine. If you used one that wasn’t in that other computer’s repertoire, it could at best mess up your document’s formatting. To make matters worse, there was the Mac/Windows divide which was often viewed as a deal-breaker. Many remained convinced a file created on one type of computer could not be opened on another."

This is lovely to see – a Open Font-licensed Cantonese Visual Fonts, accompanied by Jyutping romanization as an aid to learn Cantonese.
Please welcome the newest addition to the Mass-Driver catalogue, MD System Mono!
Designed by @lukecharsley and available today in 10 styles.
System Mono is the monospaced counterpart to our flagship workhorse grotesque, sharing the same vertical metrics as the proportional family — and the same slightly rotated contrast that gives the typeface its warm, analogue character.
I used to love #Google #Fonts. Until I realized what it meant for the #privacy of the users.
Since then I've been hosting my own #mirror of the Google Fonts binaries, but I needed a way to easily generate stylesheets that use my mirror from Google Fonts links.
I've hacked together a simple interface that achieves this: https://gfonts.sofiaritz.com/
You put the mirror URL, the "link" URL of Google Fonts, and your stylesheet is generated!

Signs of the times: three graphic design tours of Zürich.
Zürich is a profoundly visual city and its tradition of graphic design goes back hundreds of years, from the colourful signs of the medieval guildhalls to old shopfronts and sophisticated contemporary design.

Sure, one can use SDL2 or whatever to draw lines, and, sure, these figures have "aliasing", but the tasks call for aliased figures. (I already did antialiased lines in ATS for a different task.)
