„Küm̄̄el“ statt „Kümmel“, das habe ich noch nie gesehen.
War das mal gängige Praxis?

@codepoints @koeberlin @fritz_groegel Nicht zu vergessen die Umlaut-Pünktchen, die in Handschrift auch mal zu einem Strich verschliffen werden.

Oft kommt zum Glück der Kontext zu Hilfe. Auch waren in den wenigen mir bekannten Fällen, in denen beide Stricharten parallel vorkamen, jene auf dem u betont gebogen, die anderen akkurat horizontal.

Aber ja, es gibt Ausnahmen, wo nicht sofort klar ist, ob der Strich ein u oder ein doppeltes n markiert: https://www.flickr.com/photos/hardwig/6701629879/

@fritz_groegel @koeberlin Dieser Überstrich war besonders beliebt bei m und n, um die sonst verwirrend hohe Zahl der Bögen zu verringern. Wurde aber auch auf andere Buchstaben inkl. Versalien übertragen. Beispiele in den Kommentaren: https://www.flickr.com/photos/hardwig/6388399531/

Yesterday I learned about an InDesign plugin that makes using variable fonts much easier. The values ​​on an axis (for example, the weight axis) can be easily applied to individual words, lines of text, or entire paragraphs.

Just tried it out with Salou! 💥

👍 Great work by the foundry HAL Typefaces.

’Twas a fantastic weekend over at fontsinuse.com @FontsInUse
@djrrb @FontsInUse Thanks, David! Sometimes a weekend just isn’t long enough for a weekend special, and spills over to Monday. More grooviness has been added today. 😅 But now we’re done with Caruso Roxy & co., I think.
I’m planning to give a (free) presentation of type specimens and lettering books at the Allard Pierson next month - on a weekday for a small group (8 people). Let me know if you’re interested.

Cheers to everyone who delayed fossil fuel phaseout by saying "you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight"

Because thanks to them everyone now has to face a situation where fossil fuels are switched off overnight 🙃🙃🙃
