New Work: GRADINE, a typeface that combines serenity and foolishness. Because it's on the Next Fonts section, it can be yours for half the price of the future official release. www.dstype.com/next-fonts/g...

This is AI proofing that AI cannot redesign itself, they need a couple of human to do so. Maybe the worst mkt ever for AI.

I'm not sure if I disagree but I think that what stoped scripts (other than Latin), races, genders and everything you mentioned, wasn't the type industry, but the fact that people couldn't find in type a reliable source of income.

It's been 30 years since I started designing typefaces. This is one of my first works with one of my '90s fonts, for the Icograda '95 exhibition in Porto, Portugal. I'm getting old as f**k!

New Release: Pulso & Pulso Pro β€” Durability and consistency for editorial purposes.

Developed to provide durability and consistency. With its 3 weights, 3 grades and 2 sets of italics, Pulso ensures flawless performance, thanks to its generous x-height and open shapes.

Somente um pouco de ironia. Por oposiΓ§Γ£o Γ  CN a CS fica sempre nos antΓ­podas aos olhos ocidentais, quando a verdade Γ© bem mais complexa do que parece. Este acto Γ© demonstrativo da facilidade que se caracterizam certos paΓ­ses.

In the 90’s when I was a graphic designer one of my favorite pairings was FF Meta and Matrix Script.

The point position, stroke width, x-height when the values are like 191, 483, or similar. If it doesn’t end with 5 or 0, it always look wrong.

Definitely the version with vertical cut in the tail. It makes much more sense in Inter.
