a long dog

working on a serif. resisting posting images of it until I make more decisions about the forms. but rest assured....I am working on a serif and I think it looks Good.

HNY from BFF! may this year bring you many fonts

MD Nichrome, a geometric sans-serif with a strong retro flavour, syncopated proportions. It’s inspired by 70s sci-fi paperback covers, and available in 16 styles (8 weights, from a very thin to a very bold, with matching obliques).

MD Polychrome, a typeface based on magnetic ink bank numbers (and the various retro-high-tech fonts they inspired in the 60s and 70s). Available in four styles, loosely corresponding to different print sizes rather than weights.

MD IO, a monospaced typeface intended for super-legible text. It’s somewhat futuristic in appearance (but not distractingly so) with strongly textured italics. Available in 16 styles, with weights from very light to very bold.

MD Lórien, a slightly ornate serif influenced by Caslon and the 18th century European typefaces which Caslon’s fonts were derived from. It’s available in five weights, with matching italics, swash caps, ligatures, etc. etc.

For any game developers* caught by the Monotype/Fontworks price hikes:
- you can use our fonts for video games
- there are no usage caps or renewal fees
- unrestricted trial fonts for in-engine testing
- smaller dev teams pay less.

Elizabeth Goodspeed on why design studios are making fonts Custom type has become branding’s newest obsession, promising control, originality, and ownership – but its rapid rise is reshaping the culture and economy of type design itself.

Brand designers love the control, originality and ownership of making their own fonts. But how is custom type reshaping the culture and economy of type design itself? I wrote about why so many design studios are creating fonts and what it means for the rest of us! www.itsnicethat.com/articles/eli...

watched my favorite film (live action Scooby Doo movie) and cannot stop thinking about this banger of a line from Fred.

this is a great joke and i hope it finds its niche audience

"who created the seminal ambient work 'the disintegration loops'?"

👽 Gayot New 👽 a retro sci-fi typeface in 8 weights

just tried adding swashes to a letter with the pen tool like all those graphic design influencers do and i'm happy to report it looked like shit just like it does in their videos

Two WIP typefaces in varying states of good-ness. The first is a serif with no interesting story (drew an "a" i liked...kept drawing) and the second is my take on Dellacroce Beta (Carl P. Dellacroce, c. 1970) with some alternates and added uppercase.

Heading to Portland for @typecon.bsky.social tomorrow! Who's gonna be there?

come find me at #typecon to get one of these stickers 😎

Stoked to be speaking at #TypeCon2025 about using Blender to make 3D animations and graphics to promote your typefaces! If you'll be in Portland for TypeCon gimme a shout

I think the glass effect looks sick (in Figma, Blender, or otherwise) but having it as a native feature will inevitably lead to it feeling overused extremely quickly (already starting to feel it imo)

cookin up something a wee bit more usable
