Introducing Counterpunch, a next-generation font editor that runs directly in your browser.

Inspired by the counterpunch, a traditional punch-cutting tool from the metal type era, this modern digital type design tool introduces vital concepts such as full bidirectional complex script shaping, in-place component editing, code-driven dynamic glyph filters, and a digital assistant that streamlines everyday font engineering tasks.

For those who have grown weary of the repetitive edit-compile-test cycle of traditional font editors, Counterpunch offers a welcome solution.

"Things Fall Apart: Lessons from a Defunded Data Repository."

"Since the start of the second #Trump administration, we have seen a progressive removal of #climate, #environmental, and #socioeconomic #data from federal websites, with further threats to dismantle data infrastructure looming. This essay represents a short personal account of the data rescue efforts of the #NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (#SEDAC), which was run by Columbia University’s Integrated Earth System Information (#CIESIN) since the late 1990s."
