Simon TrufferSURROUND is the second concept font I developed during my Bachelor's thesis at HKB (Bern Academy of the Arts).
Using three variable font axes (Animation, Wave Amplitude and Wave Direction) to control the motion, 208 masters were created to cover all steps. A Python script took around 20 hours to complete the pixel displacement for all 26 letters. But once rendered and saved as a font file, it runs butter-smooth — at least in the browser.

Nick ShermanToday I learned there is a pair of font-themed high-rise apartment buildings in Queens, named The Bold (https://boldanditalic.com/bold/) and The Italic (https://boldanditalic.com/italic/).
Of course they are marketed with pun-filled copywriting, like “your type of place”, “where luxury and style are written boldly”, and “amenities that put an exclamation point on ease”.
CJ DunnI’m currently on a 10 day road trip in Iceland in an EV camper, the VW ID. Buzz
Going into this trip I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to find charging stations, how long charges would take, how much they’d cost, and overall if it would feel like a hassle or not that big of a deal. So I thought it would be interesting to keep track of the details and report for anyone else interested. 5 days in and it’s been amazing⚡️
I’ll use the hashtag
#EVtravelCJ so feel free to mute if not interested : )
David JONESThere are surprisingly few fonts based on, or used by, actual typewriters. In the interests of finding out the right answers by posting wrong ones:
Prestige Elite, Typewriter Elite (balls and fillets), Courier (no balls, slab serifs), LTC Remington Typewriter (wavy seven).
A2 Typewriter, 1403 Vintage Mono, and Orator feature in the next post.
Please boost (to increase the rage replies).

If I type really slowly, letters don’t get duplicated. I do it when I just need to type a single word somewhere (and feel stupid while pausing for a moment after each letter).
InDesign question:
When I type in a text box (in normal speed), random letters get duplicated.
I neeed to carefullly read everything twiice to makee sure the text isnn’t messed upp like tthis.
This only happens in the current and the last versions of InDesign on Windows 11, no other program.
I used to do a lot of writing in InDesign. That’s impossible now. Instead, copy & paste from a text editor it is.
Would love to get back to my old routine. How do I fix this?
Jens Kutílek@drj My mom’s #typewriter has a very nice font. It was present with me from a very young age, and I keep coming back to digitizing it. I did the first version in 1997, and have started anew a couple of times, and I’m still not happy with it. This is the current state. The typewriter is an Olympia portable from the 1970s, and the font is called Congress Modern.
