New site is online. New structure, new typeface, new teasers, new videos, new support section, new buy, new everything. Still a little raw on the edges, here and there.

I've looked at these for a couple of months now from very very close. Fonts are code and the nature of code is that it's never perfect.

It had to be done, as the Garamond I wanted just didn't exist. Started feeling a bit weird after three months working on variable cap height regular, bold, 2 italics, and bold italics like a madman, so I brought it to a close. Two weeks ago, I read how Jony Ive spent the last 4 years on his Baskerville with a group of type specialists, and I went: "Ha!" https://www.fastcompany.com/90888571/jony-ive-spent-the-last-4-years-perfecting-his-typeface-heres-why-hell-never-be-done

@reichenstein Looks great. Will it be publicly available like Mono/Duo/Quattro?

@denkfix No, the plan is to have them exclusively in our apps. That was part of the motivation to put so much energy into them and make them from scratch.

@reichenstein That is perfectly understandable. Just curious: How is this going to work with Export to Word – standard-Garamond after export?
