Still gathering Schrofer code … one recent update to @drawBot broke my original code for recreating the script patterns on the covers of Mouton's Les Textes Sociologiques series, but: revisions, et voila. Reconstruction, examples of the original covers, Schrofer's plan on graph paper, and a field showing the gamut of the variable font's horizontal/vertical stroke:counter axes.

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.

I wrote a short article on the "sketchy realism" of AI images, that is, the operational mismatch where, due to their photorealism, images meant as sketches or rough prototypes are intuitively perceived as finished products.
