i've always been a sl//t for #serifs but this new find has me at all-time serif sl//ttiness... not sure how this hasn't crossed my radar before now! especially seeing how it's from GOOGLE.

do your brain a favor and look at some pretty serif #type today, start with instrument ✨

Some of the most peculiar #typedesign details of Luperca, our most recently published #typeface and Ariel Martín Pérez's fist translation-contrast typeface : 1) The #serifs of the letters /C and /E were designed to look like #wolf fangs, while the bar of the /E is round, like a tongue inside a mouth. (1/6)
#HelsinkiAirport
#Moomin #pointy #ALLCAPS
#Marimekko #lowercase #serifs
#Ruohonjuuri #rounded #serifs #ALLCAPS
#IITTALA #ALLCAPS #ligature
#OLearys #cursive
The airport architect appears to have constrained the presence of brand colors, they dofferentiate with type, typography, ligarures, apostrophes. Finland doesn't conspicuously capitalise on Halloween.

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.

Hi Mike,

Yes the #layout is a bit bland but #serif fonts can be good for #readability.

For an #instance focused on #news #serifs might be helpful.

We hope their #characterLimit is well above 500 so people can actually discuss news. A minimum of 2000 characters would probably be useful.
