New project with my knitting machine and AYAB. A very comfy motto to wear.

Alors qu’on commençait à travailler sur notre site, on devait choisir une #typo. On avait laissé la police par défaut sur notre ancien site, la #Times, et on tenait à cette « esthétique par défaut ». Seulement… Si dans nos livres on utilise beaucoup les typos de @byebyebinary pour y intégrer des glyphes post-binaires et inclusifs, la Times, elle, n’en contenait pas.

C’est de là qu’est née la Full~Times, le fruit d’une collaboration entre la dessinatrice de caractères @ameliedumont et les éditions Burn~Août.

En 2026, les éditions Burn~Août font peau neuve grâce au travail d’Amélie Dumont (@ameliedumont) !

Un nouveau site, un nouveau logo et une fonte libre pour remplacer la Times New Roman. On vous souhaite à toustes une bonne année 2026 🥰

And here are pictures of the knit works made using the tool
Almost 2 years after starting it I show this: a homemade tool for knitting typography.
I first designed pixel fonts in Libre Office Calc to get letters made for knitting, as a knitting stitch is similar to a pixel in an image.
Then I developed a web tool using HTML canvas, so I could use the pixel fonts exported as images and write text with it.
Last step: the canvas with text is exported as an image, and I make a knit work out of this image with AYAB.
Still experimental but starts working fine
This is my new laptop sleeve with a stroke font lettering designed on https://www.turtlestitch.org/. Then I could export the code into a file for a digital embroidery machine. And I am happy with it 🧵

Turtlestitch is based on a browser-based educational programming language (Snap!) to generate patterns for embroidery machines.

Just a quick announcement that my fonts Ductus are now available on Bye Bye Binary's typothèque → https://typotheque.genderfluid.space/

It's under free license so feel free to use or modify it

Finally showing something I've been working on for a moment : I added inclusive glyphs to a font family that I designed a few years ago. These glyphs depend on an Opentype feature that activate it when you use the period centered glyph to be gender inclusive.

This font family was designed with Metapost and is totally free of use : https://gitlab.com/ameliedumont/fonts/-/tree/master/Ductus

Another little generator project. This is a tool made for the art event Lesbiennale (https://lesbiennale.art), aimed at the organisation team so that they can create pictures for their social network accounts by playing with the automated layout of the tool. Then PNG files are generated and can be downloaded.
