This was probably the scariest job I’ve done so far. #Hinting the new corporate font for ODIDO, the rebrand of T-Mobile NL together with Tele2. #advertisement
Used in hundreds of screen applications.

The font is based on CoType Foundry’s Aeonik and altered by Diana Ovezea. TrueType Hinted in @glyphs (luckily no #VariableFont)

Thank you Mark Bloom and Diana Ovezea, for your tust and this great opportunity. And for great time mgmt and clean files.

did not expect to unlock more #TrueType #Hinting skills ... but hinting a layered pixel font is like 5D chess

So I've heard overlapping components in a hinted TT font is a big No — this comes up a lot in, for example, the `ç`, which usually has a `cedilla` component overlapping the `c` — but I've never seen an issue caused by overlapping components! But maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention.

Does anyone have an example of when overlapping components caused some sort of rendering issue?
