Typographica@jaf One of the best books on type. https://typographica.org/typography-books/size-specific-adjustments-to-type-designs/
Size-specific Adjustments to Type Designs
For decades now, typography has lacked a vital component. Yet most of us had no idea what was missing. Soon after type made the jump from metal and wood to film and digital, it became size agnostic. Users gained the ability to scale a font for any setting, but lost...

Might have been the most important book right before and during my #EsadType studies. It still wears an additional dust jacket I made from paper to protect it.
Hopefully all the libraries of universities with type design programmes have multiple copies stocked, now that it’s out of print.

Discovering our fonts in heavy duty industrial products is as thrilling as finding them in museums or bookshops!!

In der heutigen vernetzten Welt arbeiten immer mehr Designer an Projekten mit verschiedenen Schriftsystemen. Doch der Umgang mit einer fremden Schrift ist keine leichte Aufgabe. Es gibt viele Fallstricke. Viele davon sind unsichtbar – es sei denn, man hat gelernt, sie zu sehen.
TypographicsFor the design of this year’s Typographics festival, we’re using several complementary typefaces:
➽ Mayonnaise from Spaghetype for decorative settings, overlaid with its Shadow and Shine layers
https://www.futurefonts.xyz/spaghetype/mayonnaise
➽ Anchor from Process Type for most other headings
https://processtypefoundry.com/fonts/anchor/
➽ Cupidus & Cupidus Text from @jaf for subheadings, deks, body text, captions, etc.

➽ Crackly from Emigre for various ornamental background patterns

Mayonnaise by Spaghetype - Future Fonts
Mayonnaise is silky smooth, with a strong personality. A rounded display type family with nine styles, also in three dimensions, inspired by the 1914 "Specimen de caractères pour affiches Olliere & Cie". Mayonnaise's strong curves and generous weights will suit every powerful title. Perfect for sandwiches, fries, or devilled eggs.
Kern On@jaf Nice! JAF Cupidus was kerned with Kern On.
Did you know? The Cupidus italics are entirely autokerned (and partly autospaced) on the basis of the uprights, without any additional manual input. 😎
