Work in progress screenshot in FontLab 8 type design software showing the lowercase letters from a-z drawn in a gritty, pixel art typewriter style.
WIP sneak peek 👀
I've unpacked my desk after moving house and I'm back working on this custom "hi-res" pixel typewriter font commission through VGen 😁
spacing tweaks to follow, but first making sure my client is all good with the scale before drawing the rest 🙌

Okay, let me just… *throws some unexpected typedesign work at you*
I have been gone from here for a while now… the reason being me working on my bachelor‘s project/thesis. So. I am back, and this is it. Or at least part of „CONVERGENGE“

“Fifty years ago this month, March 1976, at 20 years old, is when my interest in type design began.”

Day 2 of Drawing a Font Every Day. Today: an expressive Uncial/half-uncial/blackletter mashup, based on a piece of lettering by the late great Helmut Salden. #typedesign #helmutsalden
A closer look at the typeface designed for @cine_mago, with two more masters in the works! The visuals were done by the great @o__arara, so a big shout out to these two amazing people.

Pixel art typewriter font work in progress sample with two rows of lowercase letters on evenly spaced grids. The first shows letters a-h in a smaller size and cleaner style, the second row shows a larger version with more gritty texture. The small text to the left of each row reads: UC32 x21, and UC36 x24. These indicate the uppercase size in pixels (UC) and x-height size in pixels (x).
some WIP sneak peeks of a "hi-res" monospaced typewriter pixel font for a commission I'm working on :D
my client requested MOAR TEXTURE! 🙌 we've also decided to increase the sizing a smidge to allow more room for the italic and bold versions later :D

GlyphSmith v1.2 app screenshot showing the glyph editor with a bold brush-style W character, font metrics panel, and v1.2 badge
GlyphSmith 1.2 is out! Improved SVG import now ensures your glyphs are sized and positioned correctly, no matter the scale or position they're exported from. Get it at https://glyphsmith.app or from the Mac App Store. #GlyphSmith #TypeDesign #FontTools #MacApp #IndieApp
Kerning view in GlyphSmith, tweaking the kerning of "NT"
Kerning isn't just spacing — it's the difference between "FLINT" looking like a word and looking like a ransom note. Good kerning is invisible. Bad kerning is all you can see. The space between letters shapes how meaning lands. #typography #typedesign
A project I want to give a shout out to is the collab I did with Cinemago, a Content Creator whose admiration for Tarantino and Hollywood movies made him a cinema lover.
