Glyph Finder is a labs project from Adobe Fonts — search for any unicode character, and see a bunch of available fonts which support it.

Now you can hunt down the perfect font based on the character you need.

Making Type: James Edmondson of OH no Type Co.

In years to come, I think we’ll look back and say James Edmondson was one of the great type designers of this era. Heck, we don’t even have to wait to do that, I’ll just go ahead and say it now. His distinct flair, championing expressive type,

Making Type: Amy Hood of Hoodzpah

I am beyond stoked to have our next installment of Making Type with Amy Hood. I’m unabashedly a fanboy of Hoodzpah and will not stop buying their merch. I’m talking bumper sticker on my car, poster on my office wall, mug for my coffee, hat on my head.

Does anyone know of any good resources for restaurant menu design? My searches are flooded with pretty mediocre templates and I’m looking for some nicely made real inspiration.
Sabrina Carpenter was my top artist for a second year in a row (make of that what you will) so naturally I had to look into the fonts she uses:

When you think of 'plain text' what font do you think of?

@kizu @piccalilli @5t3ph Hello clever people, I’m trying to wrap my head around if it’s possible to use container queries and a variable font with a width axis to basically do fit-text+ (i.e. prioritize getting the font narrower before getting smaller as the container shrinks)

Is this something any of you have come across?
