Rutherford CrazeHave you used any of our fonts in a live project?
If you’re able to share an image or two (or better yet, submit a @FontsInUse post!), I’d love to hear what you worked on and potentially feature it on the next version of the foundry website

TiffanyHave you ever wished you could have instant access to word count or character count? I cannot recommend TextCount enough. System wide, lives in your menu bar, inexpensive, and not yet another subscription service. This is very niche and not sponsored. https://arthursmithdev.gumroad.com/l/TextCount

Doug WilsonA true right of passage for someone interested in type history is being interviewed by Frank Romano for "What They Think" (dot) com.
We talked about fonts, how you don’t technically *own* the fonts on your computer, the introduction of Helvetica in hot metal, and of course, my book project.
If nothing else, enjoy the hilarious vision of myself with a beard that I grew over the recent winter break as mostly a joke!

Just van RossumI can finally share a thing I did for @typotheque: an interactive visualization to explore their Zed Display variable font:

Today I am thrilled to announce the launch of my new company: Type Advisor.
I’ve had a unique and varied career trajectory, but the one constant for the past 20 years has been typography. For all sorts of reasons, I got bit by the type bug and haven’t gotten bored yet. Fonts are fun!
Tilmann HielscherEvery time a story about fonts gets covered by media for a wider audience, I notice how journalists get details kind of right, but not really. Then I wonder how many misconceptions I must be living with.
Mr.Mark "The Sharpie King"Boy is it high time for software that doesn’t get worse every year. Tools that feel like tools.
It’s as though we’ve all been trained, “Hey, do you like this fast, frictionless experience you’re having? It won’t last. We can barely afford to keep it running.”
I swear that not a single Google employee has ever printed from a Google Doc in their entire life.
