Last year, we started a historical research into handwriting, and formulated a concept of a new typeface. This year, we worked with a cognitive psychologist @hectormangas and lettering artist @docekalovapetra to create a typeface fuelled by this research

@Paul_Hanslow @eyemagazine Thank you.

We republished an article originally written for @eyemagazine examining the notions of originality in type design and the boundaries between interpretation and plagiarism.

@muthunedumaran @typotheque It was a pleasure to meet in person, many years after discovering your impressive work as part of the MacOS.

South Asia is one of the most linguistically diverse places on this planet. At @typotheque we worked on supporting as many of these languages as possible. https://t.co/4E31F6Qj2j

@TimothyDSnyder thank you for allowing us to enjoy your Yale course on the history of Ukraine. I just finished it and profoundly enjoyed it (and learned a lot). It also got me interested in the history of Habsburg monarchy. Is there a book or podcast you would recommend?

[Typotheque @typotheque]

We have over 100 responses so far, but to be able to make solid conclusions, we need have 100 more. Do you know someone who speaks Armenian? Ask them to fill the form! 🙏

[Peter Bilak @PeterBilak]

On the recent trip to lecture at Elisava in Barcelona, I spoke to my good friend @laurameseguer about the past, present and the future. The conversation is available as a 40min podcast.

To better to understand Armenian readers preferences and legibility of certain type design choices we prepared an online survey. Do you speak Armenian? Please take part, or help us spread the word.

Artery is the new book by Allison Katz – a Canadian artist based in London – published by MIT Press. Mathias Clottu designed it. On Fontstand News, you can read Michela Zoppi’s interview with him. A lovely book, full of text set in Fonderie Olive fonts! https://t.co/kZ3McBH83d

If you are interested in publishing, here is an interesting piece about publishing models for independent publishers. Our @WorksThatWork is mentioned too. https://t.co/TNVRWSXWbQ
