Eiko Fried ʕ•ᴥ•ʔNot sure if I've yet connected to the local #font #nerd community, but I just discovered 'Karla' and boy it's pretty!
Faye@eikofried My all time favorite is a Frutiger variety… Avenir. A bit like Futura but less gritty for reading as a body tekst.
@eikofried I don’t know if the kerning for Karla really is to my liking. Repetitive letters like for ‘commission’ annoy me visually. Most of the time this means that the flow for reading is probably less comfortable.
James Green@eikofried there are a few minor enthusiasts here. Me and @sanderhermsen at least
Sander Hermsen@ajamesgreen @eikofried Yep!
Karla is cool, but could maybe do with a kerning update. The lowercase r is a bit too far to the right, I think

Attached: 2 images 👋 New! Austerlitz resembles to a Didot, but it does not follow the characteristics of this style: the counterforms are smoothly rounded, the stress is not completely vertical, there are traces of written letterforms. ➽ https://austerlitz.typofonderie.com Read about the innovative italics!
Sebastian Karcher@eikofried that is a lovely font! I have changed my default email font to avenir, and that brings me some joy everyday. same for changing the default font in Google Docs (using Proxima Nova there)

Mathijs Deen@eikofried it’s gorgeous! The postal code of our beloved Pieter de la Court is 2333 AK though :).

@mathijsdeen Really shows the value of #openaccess letter heads 🙃
