📣 New in 2025, Alphabettes Soup: Ten Years of Feminist Approaches to Type
📚 Next year, @alphabettes turns 10, and we’re celebrating with a pot-luck book! It will be served up — piping hot — in September 2025, published by Bikini Books.

Gimme v0.12 has been out for only a few weeks, but work v0.13 has already started long ago. So a sneak-peek? So soon? Have a look at this mid-tone style for Masher, pushing readability and game controllers to the max!
Was a lot of fun getting it all together.
In time for the holidays, GIMME gets a new update! 🎉 This time with a full new family (with 7 weights in total!) and many other additions and improvements.
We are at 10 families already, is that finish line anywhere in sight? Still, I'm really enjoying this journey, and @futurefonts is the perfect platform for it to grow. I hope it shows!
Gimme is the kid in class with everything, from the latest toy as seen on TV to a tricked out BMX bike. It's the only person you knew with the complete Playmobil Mansion or USS Flagg, and now, this can be you! Gimme is a dazzling ever-growing type family of multi-chromatic and variable display typefaces which will leave you saying: gimme more! And you are in luck, because updates will deliver on that! Inspired by a box full of toys, more type families will be added as we go along, expanding them further and adding new features. And the more allowance, the more it will grow! Color for Adobe and other apps: Unsure about color support? Check the trial font before you buy! Gimme includes a SVG version which works in the following Adobe apps: Photoshop CC17, Illustrator CC18 and InDesign CC 19. Affinity Designer also requires the SVG fonts to work. For anything Microsoft related, a COLR version is included. Cutting edge tech ahead: The variable color font technology is currently largely unsupported, and will work only in browsers or special dedicated applications. All browsers aside from Safari will also render the letter with lower quality.

The work of Nóra Békés is situated at the intersection of storytelling and design, crafting distinctive narratives through the use of both imagery and typography. Now she has just launched her own type foundry and publishing platform https://libraryofnarrativetypes.xyz and has also relocated to Amsterdam.

There is nothing like some good file bloat!
I thought I had hit my peak by making a 34mb font. But now, without me really noticing, I seemed to have created one of 66mb.
Great case of why SVG color fonts are highly inefficient: the COLR version is just 26!
De Grafische Werkplaats in Den Haag dreigt per 1 januari zijn subsidie te verliezen, en zal daardoor na 50 jaar moeten sluiten. Teken de petitie om bezwaar hier tegen te maken!
https://petities.nl/petitions/behoud-de-grafische-werkplaats-in-den-haag?locale=nl
De Grafische Werkplaats geeft ruimte voor ambitie, ontwikkeling en experiment binnen de grafische techniek aan zowel professionele gebruikers als amateurs. Het verdwijnen van de GWP zou eeuwig zonde zijn en zal een onomkeerbare vernietiging van kennis, cultureel erfgoed en infrastructuur betekenen.
