I find it so curious that #MermaidJS, for whatever reason, uses Trebuchet MS as its default font when rendering graphs -- not Arial, the (unfortunately) obvious choice. No matter where one shows up, there's Trebuchet: gangly and unmistakable. #typography

Happy #SquirrelAppreciationDay! Despite the opinion of some people in my home there’s a colony of white squirrels in Toronto’s Trinity-Bellwood Park! I know. I’ve seen them. This is a portrait of one of them, climbing head-down a maple tree, along with the words “Legendary White Squirrel of Trinity-Bellwoods”. It’s sort of become a running joke to question the reality of 🧵

This linocut shows an improbability of puffins in all senses of the words. The collective noun for a group of puffins is an “improbability”. Isn’t that marvellous? Puffins look rather improbable to me, with their tuxedo coats and tails and their red, Roman noses... I mean beaks. These are Atlantic puffins, to be precise. Actually, there are a few different words for a group of puffins, including “a puffinry of puffins” (which seems 🧵

Human art enjoyers! I've been very lucky with offline #slop but recently a rando a café thought it was cool to have that vomit on their walls (fittingly it was on the toilet 💩) which inspired me to this.

Round illustration in ochre and mint green of a tv-like robot's head that has dollar signs for the eyes and two bullet holes in it's display, making a :P emoji. Laying at it's side is a yellow cat, looking angry that is grabbing a marker with her tail. She's just written „Built from stolen art“ on the side of the robot . Above the illustration it says „Ew, AI Slop!“ and beneath it „Support Real Artists!“, with a little speech bubble pointing at the cat, saying „like her“.

Are there any versions of Monaco that add bold and italic and were designed by a type designer rather than run through an "auto-variants" tool? #typography #macOS

Jay 🆘

@jsit@social.coop replied · 2 weeks ago

A small bright moment for today, for me at least — a bit of Apple history.

I emailed the designers of the vector version of Monaco (Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes; Susan Kare having designed the bitmap version), asking about a full family, and this is what I got back.

#typography #macOS

Thanks for your message. We are glad you like Monaco.
We like it too, and once hoped Apple would release a
full 4-style family of Monaco, and the same for New York
and Geneva. After those faces were launched with System
7 in 1991, we urged Apple to have us design the
companion styles to make them full families, but Apple
never did.
Those faces have huge x-heights, around 54.5% of the
body size, and some users preferred Geneva to Helvetica
because it looked bigger on screen. This was a
consequence of Susan Kare's constructing the fonts
directly on the screen and making the x-heights taller
than what standard printing types would have if mapped
directly to screen. Back then, Apple wasn't crediting
Susan Kare as the designer of the original bitmaps, so her
name was left out. Subsequently, we always try to credit
Susan Kare for her original work on the bitmaps
We wrote an article about the design of those fonts and
you can find it online.

Sorry to be a bore could do with some #font identity help.

Trying to find something where the S is like this. I am picturing some 80's car manufacturer.

I did try a find font by upload service, but I think I am looking for something sort of classic. (I wouldn't mind if it's a variant of a heavy arial or helvetica but those S's are much more rounded of course).
