The National Park typeface is inspired by the carved wooden signs of Rocky Mountain National Park. Designed to capture the unique charm of router-engraved lettering, it modernizes these forms while optimizing readability across print, web, and mobile platforms.

Have you decided on switches and keycaps yet?
In my job I work in the context of Corporate America and there's a lot that can be said about that.

I've also discovered my love for custom mechanical keyboard lately and of course people are building Macrodata Refinement keyboards: spkeyboards.com/products/sa-...

Also new key caps for my Aula F75!
The lofree flow84 is here! First impression is it really feels and sounds a lot more solid than the Nuphy....

The latest versions of Safari and Chrome now support CSS `text-box`.
We’re getting closer to a future where text labels are perfectly centered on buttons, regardless of the vertical metrics set by the typeface designer.
I also ordered a Lofree Flow84, because they say it's the best sounding low profile mechanical keyboard

Besides new keycaps and switches for the Epomaker, I'm now waiting for the delivery of my new Wisteria Low-profile tactile switches for my Nuphy Air75 v2 (that I already had) nuphy.com/collections/...
