@RegioneMarcheIT A quando anche i marchigiani iscritti all'AIRE? Visto che altre regioni hanno già ottemperato all'ordinanza https://t.co/WIcQVFjyBB

Next up: engineer @IginoMarini, owner of #iKern. Explaining letter-fitting services is easy, Igino says, because “words are accompanied by facts: the fonts. And facts are worth more than words”. Follow his talk and find out if he proves it! #ATypITechTalks2021 #advanced #kerning

Thx @Tosche_E for moderating Igino’s talk and Q&A; current questions regarding the workflow in #iKern. @IginoMarini compares his letter-fitting tool with a musical instrument: “you can play it your own style” (referring to settings etc.)–loved this. #ATypITechTalks2021 #kerning

Again we must say, the Q&A chat is GREAT ♥️ – and truly #global: @Tosche_E from Japan picking up a question for our speaker @IginoMarini from Italy by Fernando Díaz @ferfolio from Uruguay: Will Igino’s tool by any chance be #opensource? We all are, for sure! #ATypITechTalks2021

“No drugs.” Our speaker’s @IginoMarini’s recipe for being creative? “When the mind gets really tired, it might happen that it breaks down. Then it builds up again–maybe into something new. It comes as a surprise. #Tiredness and #surprise, this is my #formula.” #ATypITechTalks2021

The iKern presentation was fantastic! Got so much out of it. #ATypITechTalks2021

@abcdinamo Thank you Johannes, Fabian, Robert & co.

[Igino Marini @IginoMarini]

After more than 10 years, I’ve set up a new site. It's more a small book that aims to illustrate what I have learned over the years about letter-fitting. I also felt the need to gather some information about the mathematical model behind iKern. https://t.co/lmRaiejqgk

@TiroTypeworks Thank you, John.
It was about the importance of the experimental method!

Enjoyed a wonderful 'Satyagraha' through Metropolitan Live in HD http://t.co/XsMtHUMl. A 200 seats theater only for me and my daugther!

@folengo Ti piacciono i Verdena? Sto ascoltando in loop l'ultimo cd. Il mese prossimo vado a vederli (4a volta) a Recanati con i figli!

@commercialtype @typographica @processtype I would think that design errors may be spotted 'after' (whatever) kerning. Conceptually.

[Igino Marini @IginoMarini]

I'd prefere to have 10 bugs to find instead of having to deal with something that works but I don't understand why. It's the 'hyperbug'.

[Igino Marini @IginoMarini]

@exljbris as you have seen I always follow your advises!

[Igino Marini @IginoMarini]

@davelab6 Thank you: it's harder to write words than code anyway!

[Igino Marini @IginoMarini]

Set up the new iKern site, sent back the latest fonts I worked on, set up this Twitter account. Finally back to code!
