I don’t know how many people on here know about Fredrick Brennan.
After scripting 8chan as a teenager, he denounced Qanon and became a typedesigner.
He worked for Font Forge for a while and started his own modular font editor Q later K.

He also “reverse engineered” HOI (Higher Order Interpolation) by @underware.

He died on 10th of January. #RIP
