Wrapping Up 2023 At Sharethrough

What if Jony Ive had narrated the Dynamic Island design session? Thanks to @mvcmendes, ElevenLabs, and some editing, we now know 😅
I was thrifting and found this. First thought was “I wonder if @louie has or knows of this oddly-specific Walt Disney kid’s book / long-playing record.”

This "texture healing" technique is really impressive. It uses OpenType’s contextual alternate glyphs, usually seen in stylistic embellishments such as swash caps or ligatures. With Monaspace, they dynamically adjust the widths of characters in a MONOSPACED face, while still respecting the monospace grid. It's pretty wild. The website has a neat interactive step-by-step visualization on how it works. Also, comes in 5 faces!
