The Fonts In Use team unanimously condemns the assault on safety, security, and basic humanity continually displayed by Twitter’s new ownership. We loved it here, but can no longer justify engaging in this platform. Find us at https://t.co/sUgAgKsHuV and https://t.co/dV2ePZveBN.

@domesticetch Fully agreed!

On Dec 13 we posted the tweet shown in this screenshot. Tonight, that tweet is hidden, replaced with an ad, as part of Musk���s hamfisted/fascistic ban on all Mastodon links. So, we can’t link you to our social network of choice, but you can get there from https://t.co/VV5wlojAhW.

@olofch @hardwig Hi Thomas, it appears to be related to Brasilia https://t.co/BEXxibQ1ll
Not PL/MT’s digitization, though. AFAICT, neither Bolivia nor Neue Brasilia

Here’s a little info about the third-party cookies on https://t.co/VV5wlojAhW:

There are none.

Last year, as our team discussed GDPR conformity, we agreed it was easier and better to drop any need for cookies than to have an opt-in popup.

@jmsoleb Yes, it’s indeed the AT Vol. 2 from 1965. Similar samples are also shown in the One Line Manual of Styles from 1971, just smaller and w/o the stretched and obliqued variations.

@EvaSilvertant Stylistic alternates, the DIY (and anti-SEO) way: those glyphs are the Cyrillic pe (п) and the Greek upsilon (υ)!
