@mwichary Those fractions!

@Tilmann That was exactly what I felt after watching this (at 11:15, in Dutch, lots of ads): https://www.rtl.nl/nieuws/uitzendingen/video/35794c14-ebac-4822-b371-8a75ed8f2149/aflevering-344

Featuring Lucas de Groot, Petr van Blokland, FontGoggles and RoboFont :)

Aflevering 344

Journalistiek programma met een eigen kijk op het dagelijks nieuws.

RTL Nieuws & Entertainment

For the last months I have experimented with more interesting and dynamic linework in color fonts.

How do you stop a monoline from becoming boring while keeping readability / glyph unification? How do you make shadows and highlights stand out?

Below you can see the evolution from Gimme Chugga, from version 0.1 > 0.3, and I'm quite happy with the result so far.

The downside is that now *all* families in the Gimme family should receive some kind of similar treatment. So release in 5 years?

To finish the year, @ceci_dcd and I are releasing another experimental project called BM Neon. We tried to push the boundaries of what a variable COLRv1 font can be.

BM Neon comes as three variable fonts. Each font holds at its core a specific type of gradient: Linear, Radial and Sweep. These can be manipulated via axes. In browsers, the colours can even be changed! @Adobe & @Figma when will this be possible in software??

If interested, there is some more info about the project on our website.

@mitradranirban @simontruffer How cool, a font by and for ants!

@cakelab Somehow, Pootjesglas has returned: And how!

Very nice work, looks amazing!

@nicksherman @letterror @nsmsn @FontsInUse @ohno @jo @thepytefoundry With a variable axis for annual rings! Twig-Baobab axis.
@letterror @nicksherman @nsmsn @FontsInUse @ohno @jo @thepytefoundry I see an expanding market for log-type.
@metin Helaas nog aan geen schets toegekomen: Best een simpele set regels maar wat een resultaat!

@pixelambacht Yeah, quite a find: Divine intervention after all those years?

I think there was a time when even the cheapest one went over 600.
