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.

@white_fangs @martin Big Bento in the car, that would be neat!
@anya I voiced a video for client last year and the track was almost rejected because some people in the company said it was “obviously an AI-generated voice”—I guess we’ll have to accept that this is our new reality.
@triple All the best to the four of you!
@FontsInUse I thought something was broken with my browser (or browser plugins). Never got the idea that it was something FIU could take care of.
@fhardwig @eWalthert So ~that’s~ the reason!
Searching Fontsinuse directly via the browser address bar via the browser search bar has been broken for quite some time.
Annoying, especially if you’ve been used to it for years—but you seem to have good reasons for blocking these requests (unfortunately).
@daytonamess Eurostile! The 1960s is “2001” to me and “2001” is Eurostile.
(What a mess of a sentence. I’m talking about Stanley Kubrick’s cinematic masterpiece.)
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”.
