LLMs are mansplaining as a service, but more specifically that type of mansplainer who googles your question and replies authoritatively with the first result that comes up, despite having zero understanding himself.

Gutenberg-Jahrbuch 2025 featuring a custom typeface created by Johannes @ammon @ANRT 2023–2025

The typeface for the 100th anniversary of the Gutenberg-Jahrbuch draws inspiration from roman types printed in the early 16th century by Johann Schöffer in Mainz. With its extensive character set, it meets the requirements of this multilingual academic publication.

Jeff Bozos' wedding guests are turning up in 95 private jets and untold mega yachts in fucking sinking Venice and meanwhile I gotta cut my hand rinsing out a tin of tomatoes so I can recycle it, the fuck man. The fuck.

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:

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.
