A quick overview of the asterisms in the LettError fonts. All new titles have have the symbol and I will add them to older ones when useful. I prefer the asterisk with 5 strokes. For LTR Very Bauble the bottom asterisks are rotated inward to create the triangular counter. This is a pretty illusion. For CT Action Grotesque the legibility at 7pt was more important. It is a complex shape and I want to it do its job at scale. By moving the bottom asterisks outward, they create some room for the top asterisk. The whole symbol becomes a bit wider, especially in the heavier weights. Click on the images to 👀 inspect details, some nice outline details in both typefaces, if that is your cup of tea. #fediverse #asterism #fonts #typedesign

The last two #nights have been really #clear and #dark and I've been able to see both the #SouthernCross and directly opposite the 'upside-down' #Plough (#BigDipper), here a degree south of the #equator.

It'll be a mostly #astronomy focused episode since we've covered the #mythology of Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto in other episodes, but don't worry, we'll recap the #myths for you!

Here's a little trailer for the second half of season 3: Into the Wild: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/starry-time-returns-trailer/
