Something useful I wanted to do with all the Illustrator documentation I have collected over the years: fill the gap in James Wamser's Illustrator Feature guide. So over the past few weeks I have assembled the overview of new features in versions 1 to CS5. You can read and download the complete guide here: https://indd.adobe.com/view/0bff348c-febc-4351-8a11-8101037228d9 #illustrator #history

Datatype is a new OpenType font that allows you to create charts based on text expressions.

Unlike Chartwell, it is a variable font. It (currently) offers three chart types and handles pie charts slightly differently than Chartwell. I think it’s an interesting approach.

Datatype is open source under the SIL Open Font License. Designed by Frank Tisellano.

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.
