finishing up a 14 style font family that’s been in development for *checks notes* eight years 🫠

seriously questioning my choices when designing this set of figures.

back in 2019, I swiftly worked on 4 projects simultaneously. now, I am juggling 3 and losing my mind. perhaps it's just our memory playing tricks—highlighting achievements over struggles.

how’s your weekend going? it’s 9pm on a saturday and my dog just rolled in horse poop 💩

FINALLY! well done Nadine Chahine.

Getty Images is sharing tons of high resolution art without usage limitation. Here's everything they have with "calligraphy" in the keywords www.getty.edu/art/collecti...

the problem of messing around with a project for 8 years: here I am, trying to figure out what my past self intended/did 🫠

María Ramos’ invitation to write for alphabettes.org was the perfect opportunity to kick off my "best of 2024" series, and the first up is Stringer by Emily Klaebe—in English and Portuguese, as always. www.alphabettes.org/font-reviews...

the beauty of making a 105-page proof doc with absolutely everything you drew (in context, of course) is to realize how far you have come ✨ and most importantly—I am almost DONE with this FONT! 🙌

I’m very happy to announce the first official version of my Latin Character Sets! 🌍🔠🌎🔡🌏 For type designers who want to support more than just the languages of Europe and the USA. ☛ github.com/koeberlin/La...

Brilliant thread on getting through the days ahead as sanely and constructively as possible, from a combat soldier's spouse:

thanks tiktok for telling me about The Day of the Jackal. 10/10 series, watched all 10 eps in 2 days!

is this a sign to add Cyrillics to ZC Casual? 🤩 thanks for the inspo @presentcorrect.bsky.social.

the only way of working in Rio during peak summer: shades 80% down, AC on max, don't leave the room.

Women in Type is back with a brand new trio, bringing all the Brazilian swing, and I wrote a few words about it here: mailchi.mp/88753f6825ed...

I could only follow some of the talks online, but Face/Interface is surely at the top of the conferences I want to attend in 2026. in the meantime, do yourself a favor and read Bridget's entire thread, and of course check the amazing work @typotheque.com is doing to preserve indigenous languages.

Congratulations to Lisa Huang and the whole team behind @wordsoftype.com on today's beta launch! This is already a great resource and is going to keep getting better. wiki.wordsoftype.com/

Typotheque always doing important work!

I say this over and over, and will say it again: time is your most valuable resource.

New lecture: Indigenous Language Support, a Design Process. With @kevinkingfontmaker.bsky.social from @typotheque.com More info and tickets here: www.wordsoftype.com

happy first day of teetotalism for me!

I've designed a bold plan for the first semester of 2025, which includes no drinking from January 1st to July—cheers to the last week of alcoholic celebrations for a while 🥂💫

if you are close to me, you know life has been challenging since 2020. and (almost) five months in, I risk saying that coming to Brazil is probably one of the top three decisions I've made in the last four years.

one more item to close the 2024 agenda 😮‍💨

partiu SP! ✈️ 🔠

kerning is so annoying but so satisfying.

my words, exactly 😉

so we collectively decided this is the new thing? I can only keep up with 3 social media platforms max 🙃
