Disney Layoffs Hit Marvel Studios Hard The Academy Award-winning artists behind some of Marvel's biggest hits are among the casualties from company wide staff reductions.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers.

Absolutely heartbreaking 😔
Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

Part of the bloodbath today 🫡

Can’t believe the news, Disney shutting down the marvel. vis dev department. This teams art made them billions and billions of dollars, but it seems that paying a handful or so of fulltime illustrators is simply too much to ask these days.

I’m sure there’s someone who has worded it better than me but the idea of MARVEL, a universe born from comics has no problem laying off their ENTIRE team of visual artists …

The skull on the poster is based on 'Voluptas Mors' by Salvador Dali.

Translated this means ‘Voluptuous death'

FontLab Tip: Global Mask

A Global Mask is a mask that appears in all glyphs, usually a reference used for some glyphs and later erased. Create it by selecting any contour (1) and go to Tools > Mask > Copy to Global Mask (2). Erase it with Tools > Mask Clear Global Mask (3).

Bree Devanagari /// Pooja Saxena (@matratype.bsky.social)’s Devanagari companion for Bree combines calligraphic reminiscences with an even-tempered cadence to create a design that is equal parts affable and readable. Delicious!

Tradwife movement ‘attracts men who are hostile to women’ The strongest predictor of support for women staying at home and deferring to their husband is not, as researchers expected, chivalry but ‘hostile sexism’

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women"

Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds?

FontLab Tip: Using Masks II

Anything you paste can be used as a mask (1-2-3). The mask is actually a layer linked to your master (4). Go to Tools > Mask > Edit Mask to open it. Enable master visibility (the eye icon, 4) to see both the maks and the outline (5).

FontLab Tip: Elements III

Select an element using the Element tool (the black arrow, 1), Now, if you move or transform it, the changes are applied only to this "copy". You can also modify only this reference using these controls of the Elements panel (2).
