Finally online: Beyond Bézier, the research projects my dear colleagues and I undertook at Écal, where we thought about type design beyond making products that use Bézier outlines. Video lectures by Matthieu Cortat, @alicesavoie, Radim Peško, Florence Yerly, Micha Wasem and myself, as well as lots of nice bonus content.

Beyond Bézier

One thing that came out of my research for Beyond Bézier is the Stroke Scribbler, a @RoboFont extension that creates a Noordzij-style cross-hatch to de-emphasize shapes’ outlines.

It’s been programmed by (the best and coolest) @arthurfontzarelli and I’m super happy about that.

It is available on Github:
