with Garine Gokceyan, Thomas Huot-Marchand (ANRT), @lianghai @tosche_e @morgane_pierson

Moved to JUNE 5, 2025

We had to make this last minute change. Sorry if this disrupts your calendar.

Live session on Zoom for WoT members + access to Q&A
Broadcast live on our YouTube channel for non-members.
This event is FREE to attend, still and always recorded!

We’re launching our first ever call for projects: Support Opensource Signs!

Submit your idea of a typographical project before the 15th of May and get the chance to have it released on Velvetyne and receive support from our team and a tuition of 1800€.

We're looking for weird ideas, under-represented scripts, commercially non-viable projects, projects at the meeting point between language and type design…

Details: https://velvetyne.fr/news/support-opensource-signs-1/

Please share to your networks.

In TWO weeks

Type Designers: I am available for freelance work — in particular I am looking to do some more python tool development.
I have been building all sorts of custom extensions for @RoboFont, tooling for optimizing kerning large families, proofing tools, and even PDF invoice tools using DrawBot/Google Sheet/Dropbox.
My website has my GitHub link and more work!

I finally moved this out of Google Docs Preview page and self-hosted, as part of my website redesign.

Should work a lot better on various devices, and more responsive too. Hope that helps.
