@vyshnav_xyz @JaceThings @Ninexnex They were all INSPIRED by the lettering we fawn for

[Mark Davis @MarkFonts]

@JaceThings @Ninexnex @vyshnav_xyz Def missed that. Since these were for press junkets they might have been personally done but the script connection points are different than the lettering for architectural purposes; why playwrite may be as close we get

Try these live yourself :D https://t.co/Y3MJbx5n9u

This is because the quieter, default designs, Cal Sans UI and Cal Sans UI Text, play the background support role.

[Mark Davis @MarkFonts]

My new favorite version might be the tailed lowercase-l version and/or serifed capital-I version, Cal Sans A11y & Cal Sans A11y Text. I kept thinking contextually you can tell the two apart but puts your eyes at ease at some cognitive level, I’d say. GEOM: 0 @googlefonts

[Mark Davis @MarkFonts]

Cal Sans (what is on google fonts) has a new small-size variant, with bolder extenders/benders à la TikTok Sans, OpenAI Sans (Favorit), Anthropic Sans. @calcom @peer_rich @pacovitiello

@espiekermann @connordavenpo It’s AI slop based on my google photos. The ghost in the machine is certain I’m fond of you!

[Mark Davis @MarkFonts]

Gemini got confused when I was trying to ask it to show me a UI ideas. It made up an image working on Cal Sans UI with my girlfriend with a dupe of her mechanical keyboard. Also… referred to a @espiekermann and @connordavenpo meme in my camera roll?

[Mark Davis @MarkFonts]

@Moore these sliders are perfect, can I imitate them for my tool?

@Ninexnex @vyshnav_xyz I am so glad they never will

[Mark Davis @MarkFonts]

@AlbiaHossain definitely the one with 3 year-old fluted glass trend

[Mark Davis @MarkFonts]

@Ninexnex @vyshnav_xyz it isn’t a font. it was lettered for an animation pipeline.

[Mark Davis @MarkFonts]

@CelestinEiffel @vyshnav_xyz positive they got someone to custom design every phrase in every language to work with the animation brief

[Mark Davis @MarkFonts]

@EvaSilvertant @Ahmedcreatives @framer Aliased trash

[Maxim Leyzerovich @round]

design is ending the same way it started: annoyingly

[Mark Davis @MarkFonts]
