“I think it is a testament to London’s diversity that its iconic typeface was originally designed by an immigrant, and updated by another (twice: Albertus Nova and this typeface), which I am extremely proud of, regardless of how small my contribution may be.”

London Street Signs author Alistair Hall tells the story of Toshi Omagari’s refresh of the City of London’s (COL) typeface, COL Sign.

NEW OTF FONT - AQUIS v0.5

Aquis is a titling font inspired by hand-painted letters found on an old sign in Chaudes-Aigues, in the middle of France. The aim was to recreate the contrast between thick strokes and pointy ends.

Now available to download as an open-source font on my website 👉 erwanleretif.xyz

A deep bow to @kellianderson for the astonishing ambition of Alphabet in Motion. My favorite pop-up mechanisms are those that clearly explain principles of type design that are difficult to show in static images: the asymmetry of S and O; the optical correction devices of overshoot and horizontal/vertical stroke weights; the concept of variable axes. It’s not only beautiful and fun, it’s a godsend for educators! #KelliAnderson #PopupBooks #TypeDesign #Lettering

@jenskutilek’s wonderful page on Reviving the IBM Selectric Composer Fonts strikes me as the perfect overlap of tech/type/math/research interests that also overlap on Mastodon: https://www.kutilek.de/selectric/

Hello Lurk and Mastodon.

We take advantage of this first post to introduce the collective.
BBB is a group of 20 people based in Belgium and France.
We will post mainly in French, sometimes in English or both.

BBB n’a pas pour seul but le dessin de caractères mais, plus largement, d’alimenter le débat sur la charge politique du design graphique, du langage, des représentations des corps et des identités. La collective Bye Bye Binary adopte une position de recherche militante et communautaire, c’est-à-dire par et avec des personnes concernées, à travers un prisme féministe, queer, trans*, pédé·e, bi·e, gouin·e.

In their researchs, BBB dig and twist standards, question licenses and the smoothness of our digital interfaces.
We will post here mainly about our researchs, events and publications.
