I have been watching @noclipvideo documentaries for years – super cool to see them make one about a game I worked on!

My colleagues at Lettermatic and I designed the fonts for the game, with the talented team at @Obsidian. Our full case study is here:

All code has been letters, on a grid, since the days of the teletype machine. How can we advance the state of the art to make code itself more expressive and powerful? How can we layer more meaning onto code?

@jesawyer Typeface designer @danellecheney on our team did spot some historical instances of these more 'diamond' shaped details, so she worked those in prominently as one of Marie's in-world choices.

In Pentiment there is a plot point about Brother Guy’s textura bookhand having a distinctive y tail because of his native Burgundian bastard script. We had @lettermatic_abc make a y variant for the textura font and Guy is the only character who uses it.

This is a great overview of the process @lettermatic_abc went through to develop Pentiment’s fonts!

I'm very proud of Portamento, a new typeface designed for Google Developers by the team at @lettermatic_abc!

It has monospace fonts, and proportional fonts, all within one family. 🔤🔠

I wrote an in-depth case study about the design process, here:

[Riley Cran @rileycran]

More than any other type family we’ve made, Portamento had a design process anchored in engineering. Naturally I didn’t want to get it wrong. Here’s the story of how I created a process that helped make sure I got it right:

NEW WORK: Fonts for Google Developers.

We created Portamento, a flexible typeface with three subfamilies, and I’ve written an in-depth case study on the design process.

I recommend reading this case study if you are interested in:

• Animated Bézier curves.
• 1970s typography.
• Fonts designed to work at specific point sizes.
• A flexible sans serif typeface designed for contemporary use.

New: A case study about Really Sans – a typeface in two halves.

In this case study you'll find info on the design process, historical inspiration, and a thorough look at the features of this very flexible typeface.
