Have I mentioned that I’ll be teaching another Python/@drawBot workshop for @coopertype this spring, where students will learn how to write the code to make this clock—and a lot more? No coding experience necessary!

https://coopertype.org/events/python-for-visual-designers-6

The workshop will meet for 3 hours 1830–2130 US Eastern every Thursday evening for 8 weeks starting 26 March and ending 14 May. I’m really looking forward to the chance to work with students to build out some larger projects using the basics we cover in the first handful of weeks.

Type@Cooper – Python for Visual Designers

🏁 🎉📸 Jules Vernacular reloaded

➡️ https://vernacular.fr

C’est avec joie que je vous annonce le retour de Jules Vernacular, mon herbier typographique dédié aux écritures artisanales. Le revoilà, transformé, après plusieurs années de travail, de doutes et d’obstination.

Ce site est pensé comme un véritable outil : pour explorer, trier, voyager à travers les signes vernaculaires et les mots de la rue.

Merci à @greg, avec qui j’ai engagé cette refonte et qui en a conçu l’architecture.
Merci à @timotheegoguely, qui en a assuré la mise en œuvre et mené le chantier jusqu’à son terme.👌

Avec le soutien des Éd. @bp1t
Spéciale dédicace à @super2000 ❤ pour son aide depuis le début.

Et big up aux auteur·ices de toutes ces belles lettres.

An interactive web experiment combining a springy-baseline hover effect with a variable font whose glyphs can flex to match the baseline’s curvature:

The CSS code is based on demos from @css with tips from @kizu yesterday:

The variable font is Shop Sans, which I made for exactly these kinds of curved-baseline situations:

It’s just CSS with a variable web font (no JavaScript involved) and would have been impossible until fairly recently.

Good fricking griefies! I totally missed this when it was released. Look at these lovely glyphs swooshing around 😻

Such an effective yet fun way to get a sample of the DJR font collection!

The design was created by Ian Branch Design, and all proceeds will be donated directly to the National Immigrant Justice Center. Today is Bandcamp Friday so that means everything.
