Dear #font designers,
A #monospace lowercase 'L' does *not* looks like this:
__
. . |

__ | __
It looks like this:
__

Please take heed and stop making 'L's look like ones. Thankyou.
Weirdly specific rant, complete.

#Introduction
I’m an #industrialdesign academic (interested in #designprocess, #productattachment, and #firstyear teaching). Currently easing into retirement and #Tasmania to focus on important things like #travel, #photography, #urbansketching, #sciencefiction #scifi, #comics, #gaming, and perhaps a little #fontdesign.

Do I know any font nerds? I could use some advice:
If I have a special character that I'd like other designers to integrate into their fonts, where should I suggest they add it? Ideally we'd add it to a consistent spot, so people can always use the same method to find it.
In other words, if I wanted other fonts to include the andorsand (a symbol for and/or statements), where would be the best place for designers to add that character? #fontdesign #typeface #andorsand #ampersand

@ibo I have an interest in #typography and #fontdesign. Passing this query along my own circles!
Did anyone already rant about the bad number design of the #typeface for the #FIFA22 #worldcup yet?! 🙋

Any letterpress / typography peeps on here?
You may enjoy this fab tray of wood type i am lucky enough to own. And yes I have printed from it.

Lettering: (2/3) I built a font based on these letters, in 2 weights plus a version with slab serifs, which I use a lot. It lacks much of the finesse of Skelton's letters obviously, but I'm fond of it. I also added missing letters, digits and a few ligatures.
The mystery is in Skelton's spacing. Some words seem to have randomly large internal gaps. See the gap before C in HANC and after CH in CHRISTOPHERI. Also the spaces in the date are somewhat wayward.
Hi All - we've moved here for official announcements about Glyphr Studio (https://www.glyphrstudio.com), the free + open source online font editor. Feel free to @ us with questions, or to share your creations.
Previously we've been putting all our main announcements on the Glyphr Studio Blog (https://www.glyphrstudio.com/blog/), and also on Twitter... but, due to some *cough* recent events *cough* we're looking to diversify our social medias a bit.
Good to be here!
