Here lies Bricolage Grotesque, a cultural and typographical Frankenstein’s monster. A free and open source variable font with British and French influence. Take it apart and build it again. https://t.co/npcaHjVbtK

🎧 6/6 While developing Orbit, I've been introduced to dozens of new artists, and it's become my go-to for fresh tunes when “the algorithm” feels stale. I’m excited to hear what other music fans think!

[Mathieu Triay @MathieuLoutre]

1/6 🎵 @BBCRD wanted to create a music discovery service without personalised algorithms, so we made Orbit in collaboration with @bbcintroducing https://t.co/Z0jrDHpUno

[Mathieu Triay @MathieuLoutre]

5/6 ⏳ You can sample any number of tracks, but you can only reveal 5 tracks a day. This isn’t to limit discovery but to value your time and make each track count. Find what you like, then listen on your preferred streaming service and get on with your day.

@StuartdeRozario Thank you!

@Ayoolafelix It depends what you want to achieve of course, but I find that I spend less time programming for fonts than I do drawing them. So a good drawing software such as @glyphsapp is essential and there are a few plugins (RMX, Speedpunk, Kern-On) which are essential for large families.

@Floutre It seems the Polish designers at @capitalics_wtf don't include the Z stroke in their character set and https://t.co/3pPWutUiMj doesn't include it as part of the language support for Polish. Seems like you'll be ok without it.

@Pentadact You might be interested in some of the work I’ve done for @BBCRD - https://t.co/lWnoBBK2e4 and how random vs dice is perceived (in the first article)

[Mathieu Triay @MathieuLoutre]

@gray I have the IDÅSEN and used it daily for the last ~2 years with no issue. Not the cheapest but only one that went high enough for me.

[Mathieu Triay @MathieuLoutre]

@flaviazim @futurefonts Looks great! Any plans to include a web font licence on @futurefonts as well?

[Mathieu Triay @MathieuLoutre]

@Floutre J'ai mal au dos rien que d'y penser

[Mathieu Triay @MathieuLoutre]

@mwichary Thank you! I have but not entirely sure if it’s my version but it looks better than the free traced version floating around so it’s possible :)

The @BBCRD team have been researching how to engender social connection in remote workspaces.

Here's a quick run through of their latest findings, using videos of their @liveblocks-based collaborative working environment, Colab 👇

[Mathieu Triay @MathieuLoutre]

@ctnicholasdev @BBCRD @liveblocks @livekitted That's so nice to hear! Do get in touch if have questions or if there's anything I can help with :)

[Mathieu Triay @MathieuLoutre]

Last year we at @BBCRD worked on Remote Interaction Guidelines and made a game to test our patterns. We've now made a collaborative working environment for teams using @liveblocks & @livekitted and learnt a few things about asynchronous togetherness... 1/5🧵

[Mathieu Triay @MathieuLoutre]

5/5 We'd really like to see these patterns in use so if you're a team thinking of using them, get in touch!

[Mathieu Triay @MathieuLoutre]

4/5 Our initial findings showed sharing a digital space improves the feeling of togetherness. However we had introduce what we call "shared history" to make this work asynchronously. It's inspired by how offices work and you can read more on the website https://t.co/FAwzaA8S6K
