pleased to report that after resisting coding for my entire life i gave in and decided to start learning python for type design and 1) i am making good progress and 2) i am… having fun?!

currently i can get about as far as running a file through the online version of fontbakery and fixing most of the issues it finds by googling the error messages, but i would love to feel more confident in understanding what i am doing and why

looking for resources to learn font engineering; does anyone have recommendations? particularly for someone with only a tiny bit of coding knowledge

At the beginning of the month I made the Type Foundry Directory shuffle all of the entries by default (which will hopefully help designers discover new foundries).

And now you can quickly change the sort order by clicking on the sort option next to the Name heading.

Oh and shout out to XYZ for being the first TFD nameplate sponsor ✨
